Typically, homemade nut milk is made by blending whole (sometimes soaked) almonds with water and then straining out the pulp using a nut milk bag. It’s not too difficult, but it’s not necessarily a process you want to go through when you only need 1 cup of almond milk. That’s where this 2-minute almond milk comes in. Keep this easy hack in your back pocket!
Ingredients You’ll Need
To make almond milk faster, without the need for soaking or straining, all you need is almond butter and water. You can use any other nut butter or seed butter you like with this method, just keep in mind that the milk will taste like what you use. So, if you use cashew butter, you’ll make cashew milk. And peanut butter would make peanut-flavored milk. You get the idea. Feel free to add any flavorings you like, such as maple syrup or honey for sweetness. Or, try adding a touch of vanilla extract, cinnamon, or a pinch of salt. The taste is totally up to you!
