Tips for making the Best Homemade Pistachio Milk:

• Soaking the Pistachios

  • Ideally, you want to soak for 12 hours, but 6-8 hours will work too.

  • Soaking the nuts helps to soften them, making them easier to blend and extract the maximum flavor and nutrients.

• Blending the Pistachios

  • If your blender isn't a high-speed model, you may need to blend the mixture for a longer time to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.

  • The goal is to get the pistachio mixture as smooth as possible to extract the most from your pistachios.

• Straining your Pistachio Milk

  • For the best results, use an unbleached cotton nut milk bag to strain the blended mixture.

  • If you don't have a nut milk bag, you can also use cheesecloth or a fine-mesh sieve to remove any remaining pistachio particles.

  • Avoid using a coarse sieve, as you want to ensure a smooth, pulp-free pistachio milk.

• Ways to Use the Pulp

  • Don't throw away your leftover pulp. You can add it to smoothies or protein shakes for additional nutrients, use it to make crackers, or even incorporate it into desserts.

• Proper Storage

  • Store your homemade pistachio milk in a glass bottle in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
