3 cupswater

½ teaspoonsea salt

2 tablespoonsagave nectar

Instructions

Step 1

Soak the pecans for 12-24 hours. The longer they soak, the creamier the milk is.

Step 2

Drain the nuts and discard the water they were soaking in.

Step 3

In a blender, place the pecans, 3 cups water, salt, and sweetener (if desired).

Step 4

Blend for about two minutes.

Step 5

Pour the blended milk through a strainer into a bowl or jar. I used a cheese cloth and found this to be great because you can squeeze the liquid through with your hands while straining out any larger pieces.

Step 6

Place the jar of strained milk in the fridge until ready for consumption.
