Description
This creamy homemade peanut milk is a simple, dairy-free drink with a rich, nutty flavor. It’s smooth, customizable, and perfect for sipping or adding to your favorite recipes.
Ingredients
1/2 cup peanuts, shelled, roasted, and unsalted
2 cups water, plus more for soaking
1/2 teaspoon agave syrup, or date syrup, or 1 pitted date
1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place the roasted peanuts in a bowl and cover them with water. Soak in the refrigerator for about 4 hours or overnight. For a quicker method, soak in hot water for 15 to 30 minutes.
- Drain the peanuts using a fine mesh strainer and transfer them to a high-speed blender.
- Add 2 cups of fresh water, the sweetener, and salt to the blender.
- Blend for 60 to 90 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Strain the mixture through a nut milk bag or double-lined cheesecloth into a jar or pitcher, squeezing to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Cover and refrigerate. Shake well before serving if separation occurs.
Notes
Add a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
Use more peanuts for a richer, creamier milk.
Blend in a soft date for natural sweetness instead of syrup.
Add a pinch of cinnamon for a warm flavor variation.
Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Shake well before serving as natural separation may occur.
Gently heat on the stove over low heat if a warm drink is desired; do not boil.
