Here's how:
1 cup of soaked nuts of your choice (walnuts, almonds, pecans, brazil nuts, macadamia, sunflower seeds, etc.) It's suggested to soak any nuts with a brown skin (walnuts, almonds, pecans) in water overnight. My recipe with the soyabella also says to soak, but I do not soak mine.
2 cups water Just double the amount of water compared to nuts. (2 cups nuts=4 cups water)
Blend in food processor just until rattling of nuts stops. Don't over blend or the particle get too tiny and clog nut milk bag.
Place nut milk bag over a wide mouth bowl and pour milk into bowl, straining out the pulp. Gently squeeze bag to get all milk out. Save pulp to use for other recipes if you want.
If you want to sweeten your milk, add agave nectar or dates to blender. You can also add vanilla extract too. I like mine plain with nothing in it except the nuts and water, especially for recipes!
The only thing I do not make is Soy milk. I don't eat or drink anything with soy in it. It's one of the worst things to consume if you have endometriosis thyroid disorders. Very interesting read right here from the Endo resolved website, which includes the following:
Health Hazards of Soy
This is a list of health hazards of soy as reported by health and diet specialists:
1. High levels of phytic acid in soy reduce assimilation of calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and zinc. Phytic acid in soy is not neutralised by ordinary preparation methods such as soaking, sprouting and long, slow cooking. High phytate diets have caused growth problems in children.
2. Trypsin inhibitors in soy interfere with protein digestion and may cause pancreatic disorders. In test animals soy containing trypsin inhibitors caused stunted growth.
3. Soy phytoestrogens disrupt endocrine function and have the potential to cause infertility and to promote breast cancer in adult women.
4. Soy phytoestrogens are potent antithyroid agents that cause hypothyroidism and may cause thyroid cancer. In infants, consumption of soy formula has been linked to autoimmune thyroid disease.
5. Vitamin B12 analogs in soy are not absorbed and actually increase the body’s requirement for B12.
6. Soy foods increase the body’s requirement for vitamin D.
7. Fragile proteins are denatured during high temperature processing to make soy protein isolate and textured vegetable protein.
8. Processing of soy protein results in the formation of toxic lysinoalanine and highly carcinogenic nitrosamines.
9. Free glutamic acid or MSG, a potent neurotoxin, is formed during soy food processing and additional amounts are added to many soy foods.
10. Soy foods contain high levels of aluminium which is toxic to the nervous system and the kidneys
11. The various negative effects of soy weaken the immune system.
