Creamy and rich, this plant-based pistachio milk requires 2 main ingredients and 3 steps: soak pistachios, blend them with water, and strain. You can add in some flavorings and a sweetener and enjoy it in your morning coffee, with your favorite cereal, or as a warm or chilled nightcap at the end of a long day.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups + 3 cups water
  • 1 cup raw pistachios
  • 2 pinches salt

OPTIONAL

  • 1/4 tsp cardamom
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract

Instructions

  • Add the pistachios to a container and add in the 2 cups of water. Water should cover the pistachios completely. Place a lid over the container and place it in the fridge overnight for at least 6 hours to ideally 12 hours.
  • The next day, uncover the pistachios and discard the water they were soaking in.
  • Add the soaked pistachios to a blender along with 3 cups of water and a couple of pinches of salt.
  • Blend the pistachios, salt, and water in a high-powered blender turned on high for a minute or until the pistachios are well blended and the liquid is creamy and pale green.
  • Add in the almond extract, vanilla extract, and cardamom and blend for 5 seconds.
  • Turn off the blender and strain the pistachio milk. You could use a strainer. Or, place a cheesecloth over a large glass container and stir batches of the blended pistachio milk through it. Or, you could use a cheesecloth and gather it up between pouring’s and squeeze the pistachio milk through it.
  • Once strainer, place pistachio milk in an airtight glass bottle and store in the refrigerator.
