Nut bag or cheesecloth, or fine-mesh strainer

Ingredients

1 cup pecans
3 cups filtered water
2 tbsp pure maple syrup
pinch salt

Instructions

Soak Pecans: Place 1 cup pecans in a bowl and cover with water. Let soak for about 3 hours or until softened.
Shortcut: If you’re short on time, pour boiling water over the pecans and soak for 20–30 minutes instead.
Blend: Drain and add to a blender with 3 cups filtered water. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
Flavor: Add 2 tbsp maple syrup and a pinch of salt. Blend again, then taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
Strain: Pour through a nut bag, cheesecloth, or fine-mesh strainer over a bowl (preferably one with a spout). Squeeze or press gently to extract the liquid.
Store: Transfer to a sealed jar or jug and refrigerate. Enjoy cold, or warm gently before serving.

Notes

Shelf-Life

Homemade nut milk lasts about 3 days since it contains no preservatives.

Separation

Natural separation occurs—just give it a good shake before using.

Straining Tip

A nut bag or cheesecloth gives the smoothest result, but a fine-mesh strainer will also work if that’s what you have. Just note that it may leave a few tiny pecan specks in the milk—still delicious and full of flavor!

Flavor Variations

Add vanilla, cinnamon, or pumpkin spice to customize your milk.
