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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
After soaking, drain and rinse the pistachios thoroughly under cold water.
Step 3
Add the soaked pistachios to a blender along with 3 cups of fresh water.
Step 4
Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
Step 5
Optional: Add maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to taste, and blend for an additional 10-15 seconds to combine.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Carefully squeeze the bag or press the mixture through the strainer to extract as much milk as possible.
Step 8
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.
