Description
Macadamia milk is one of the most delicious and satisfying milk alternatives you can make at home. It has a delicate flavor, a hint of natural sweetness, and a smooth, creamy texture that makes it a real treat. All you need are good-quality macadamia nuts, filtered water, a blender, and a pinch of salt. I like to add a little vanilla for extra flavor. Homemade macadamia milk tastes so much better than most store-bought options, which often contain added sugar and unnecessary ingredients. It’s great in coffee, poured over cereal, or simply enjoyed on its own — fresh, clean, and creamy.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup raw macadamia nuts (about 46 grams)
- 2 cups filtered or spring water
- Dash of vanilla powder or vanilla essence
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: your favorite liquid sweetener for extra sweetness (or even half a date)
Instructions
- Soak the macadamia nuts in filtered water for 1-2 hours. Drain and rinse them thoroughly.
- Blend the soaked nuts, water, salt, and vanilla in a powerful blender for a few seconds until smooth and milk-like in consistency. If desired, add a small amount of sweetener. Note: Macadamia milk has a naturally pleasant flavor and sweetness, so sweetener is optional (I don’t use any).
- Strain the mixture using a nut milk bag to remove any solids.
- Store the macadamia milk in a glass bottle or jar in the refrigerator. It will keep for 2-3 days.
