Title: Nut Milks

1/2 C nuts
2 1/2 C water
2 - dates, pitted
0 - dash of salt

Grind nuts into a fine meal in a mini-chopper or coffee grinder. Transfer to the blender and add water, dates, and salt. Process until creamy.

Strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove pulp, if necessary.

To make nut cream, reduce the water to 1 cup and leave everything else the same.

This recipe can be used with almonds, cashews, pistachios, walnuts, hazelnuts, Brazil nuts, pine nuts, macadamia nuts, and pecans. If desired, nuts can be soaked overnight prior to processing. This enhances the digestibility of the nuts.
