Ingredients
1 cup preferred nuts or old-fashioned rolled oats, or 1/2 cup hulled hemp seeds
Kosher salt
1 to 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup, optional
1 to 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract, optional
Preparation
Cover nuts or oats in 2 inches cold water. (Hemp seeds do not need to be soaked.) Refrigerate overnight.
Drain and rinse, then transfer to a blender with 3 cups room-temperature or cold water and a pinch of salt. Blend until completely smooth.
Strain mixture through a fine sieve lined with two layers of cheesecloth, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
Add maple syrup and vanilla to taste, if desired. Transfer to sealed containers and refrigerate until cold before serving. Milk can be refrigerated up to 1 week. Shake well before serving.
