Nut Milks….

YIELD: 2 cups (2 Servings) PREP: 4 hrs 0 min All nut milks are really easy to make. You can experiment with almonds, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds, black sesame seeds, pistachios- just about any nut or seed can be used. All will have their own flavour and colour and some are best used for baking, others are better for drinking.
