Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw pistachios (unsalted, shelled)
- 2 cups water (for soaking)
- 3 cups water (for blending)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 pinch sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Place the raw pistachios in a bowl and cover them with 2 cups of water. Let them soak for at least 6 hours or overnight for the creamiest texture.
After soaking, drain and rinse the pistachios thoroughly under cold water.
Add the soaked pistachios to a blender along with 3 cups of fresh water.
Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
Optional: Add maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to taste, and blend for an additional 10-15 seconds to combine.
Place a nut milk bag, fine mesh strainer, or a piece of cheesecloth over a large bowl or pitcher. Pour the blended mixture through the strainer to separate the pulp from the liquid.
Carefully squeeze the bag or press the mixture through the strainer to extract as much milk as possible.
Transfer the strained pistachio milk to a clean jar or bottle and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Shake well before each use.
