  • I do not strain mine, but if you'd like to --
    Optionally, strain: Nest cheese cloth over strainer and a deep bowl, or alternately use a nut milk bag inside a deep bowl. Pour the nut mixture over the cheese cloth or through the nut milk bag. Use a spoon to press out as much of the milk from the nut meal as you can. Pick up the cheese cloth or bag and squeeze out more of the milk with your hands. (Save the remaining nut meal for energy balls, porridge, smoothies etc.)
  • Pour into storage jar, and refrigerate. Enjoy within 1 week.
