Thank you so much for this post. It is highly informative. I make a nut milk with almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, pecans and dates It’s delish but I can’t use it in my coffee (it separates) and it gritty. I have a stainer that came with my milk machine but i’m gonna try the stainer and the cheesecloth you suggested. Thanks so much!!

Hi Caitlin.
This is a great resource.
I have been looking for a powdered nut milk so I can make a premix dirty chai coffee but not wanting to use dairy or soy.
I believe if I were to make one from cashews I could grind the nuts to powder and stir the. Into my hot coffee….. do you think it might work without needing to roast the cashews?

In reply to Megha. Hi Megha, the quantity will vary based on the fiber content of each nut and how well you squeese the nut milk bag. Each recipe will produce around 4 1/4 - 4 1/2 cups of milk.

Good question, Mary. You can make nut milk with the almond skins on, and it’s generally safe to consume. Blending almonds with the skins should not pose any harm, and your Vitamix should be able to handle them. The nut milk bag will help strain out any larger particles if you prefer a smoother texture.

Removing the skins is labor-intensive and not necessary, but it can result in a slightly lighter color for the milk and a smoother texture. The skins contain some nutrients and fiber, so leaving them on can be a nutritious choice.

Ultimately, it’s a matter of personal preference whether you choose to remove the almond skins or leave them on when making nut milk.

Hey there,
My homemade nut milk journey has me asking about the skins on almonds…should they be removed- ie blanched & slipped off prior to blending (labour-intensive!)? I have a
vitamix and so figure the nut milk bag will take care of the skin remnants but I have heard the skins may be harmful? any thoughts?

Nice article Caitlin, I am curious to know the quantity of milk generated with 1 cup of nuts and 4 cups of water. Also, is the final quantity the same for all the nuts?
