It's totally the thing to try right now! Almond milk, cashew milk, hemp milk... the choices are endless. Try this and you'll never need to buy nut milk again!
Put nuts in mason jar and fill with cold water. In the other mason jar, add dates and vanilla bean. Fill with hot water. Let both jars soak at least 8 hours. Rinse nuts then add to blender. Add entire jar of dates in blender (water and everything) Fill blender with remaining water (should have 9 cups) and blend for 3 minutes. Filter mixture through nut bag or cheesecloth in 3 batches.
Tip: add more dates for more sweetness. Add different spices (ie: nutmeg, cinnamon, etc) Use cashews and add organic cacao powder to make creamy chocolate nut milk.
