Nut Milk

We prefer to soak nuts the day before. Put about a cup of nuts or seeds in the blender, add about three cups of water, blend well, pour into straining bag and squeeze out liquid.

Coconut Milk

Drill hole into eye of coconut, drain water into blender, smash open coconut with hammer, dig out meat with flexible knife, cut into bits, put coconut bits in blender, add two cups of water and some soaked nuts to help emulsify, blend well, pour into straining bag and squeeze out liquid. Then you can flavour with vanilla & banana to make a vanilla smoothie.
