Ingredients
  • 1 Cup Brazil nuts
  • 8 Cups Filtered Water
  • ¼ Tsp Celtic Salt/ Sea Salt
  • Sweetener and Flavor Options:
  • 3 dried dates or Figs
  • 1 Vanilla Bean or 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Tbsp Organic Grade B Maple Syrup or Organic Honey
Instructions
  1. Add Brazil nuts to a jar or bowl and fully cover with water. Add salt and soak for at least 8 and as long a 24 hours. You can place them in the fridge or leave them on your counter. I find they plump up better outside the fridge but don’t soak any longer than 24 hours outside the fridge.
  2. Rinse soaked Brazil nuts and add to blender or food processor with 4 cups of filtered water.
  3. Blend for 2 min or until Brazil nuts are fully blended with water.
  4. In a large bowl pour blender contents into a nut bag and squeeze until all the milk passes through.
  5. Add the pulp back to the blender with an additional 4 cups of water.
  6. Repeat steps 3 and 4.
  7. Rinse blender and add half the milk along with sweetener or flavor of choice. This milk is also amazing with no sweetener at all and if you are following Whole 30 or 21 DSD sweetener is not allowed.
  8. Blend for 1 min and mix back with the remaining milk.
  9. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days in an air tight jar or container.
Notes
Use organic whenever possible! Omit optional sweetener if following Whole 30 or 21 Day Sugar Detox.
