Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup dry pistachio nuts
- 4 cups filtered water
Instructions
- Soak Pistachios: Soak your pistachio nuts for six hours or overnight to soften them. Optionally, you can peel the pistachios to achieve a brighter green color in your milk, but this is not mandatory.
- Blend Nuts: Place the soaked pistachios into a high-speed blender and blend on high to break them down into small pieces without over-blending into pistachio butter.
- Add Water and Blend: Add 4 cups of filtered water to the blender with the nuts and blend again for 1 to 2 minutes until well combined.
- Strain Milk: Pour the blended mixture through a double layer of cheesecloth or a nut milk bag into a bowl. Squeeze firmly to extract as much pistachio milk as possible. Alternatively, use a fine-mesh sieve and press the pulp to drain the liquid.
- Store and Serve: Transfer the pistachio milk into a bottle and refrigerate for 3 to 5 days. Shake well before each use to recombine.
Notes
- Peeling soaked pistachios can brighten the color but is optional.
- Use filtered water for the best taste and purity.
- Keep the leftover pistachio pulp for baking or smoothies to reduce waste.
- Shake the milk well before using as natural separation may occur.
- Store refrigerated and consume within 3 to 5 days for freshness.
