Make your own Nut Milk! :) - Day 1

Although I was always told that it was easy, I shied away from making my own nut milk for a long time, until I was taught how to do it as part of a Raw Food Cookery class and could also convince myself that it tasted absolutely delicious! I have made it a few times since. This time, I`ll let my camera follow every step and blog how to do it. If I can do it, everyone can!


First of all, here`s your ingredients:
- approx 1/2 cup sunflower seeds (or other seeds)
- approx 1/2 cup brazil nuts (or other nuts)
It`s okay to use only seeds or only nuts, but nuts taste better and seeds are easier to digest, so I like to mix to get the best of both! :-)
- dried dates or raisins
- vanilla extract
- coconut oil (optional)

You will also need a good blender (I use a smoothie maker with good results) and musslin/cheese cloth.
The preparation takes 3-4 days if you sprout the seeds first, as I do, but you may omit this step if you wish.

First step: soak seeds over night, or 8 hours.
