Step 1

Blend the mixture thoroughly, until it looks totally uniform and frothy (a few minutes).

Step 2

To strain, you can use a double layer of cheesecloth or a nut milk bag. Hold your nut milk bag or your cheesecloth over a large bowl, and pour the unstrained nut milk through. Use the bag or cloth to squeeze the contents thoroughly, making sure to extract every drop!

Step 3

Store your nut milk in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 or 4 days.Note:I like to use Medjool dates, which contain minerals and antioxidants along with natural sugar, but maple syrup, coconut syrup, and yacon syrup also work well as sweeteners.
