Author Notes

Richer and more decadent than almond milk, but equally easy (if not easier) to make, this rich, homemade non-dairy milk is perfect for muesli, oats, puddings, and other creamy vegan dishes. For a savory version (which you can add to soups), simply omit the sweetener. —Gena Hamshaw

I want to drink this immediately. So you don't strain it after blending?

I've just made this recipe and I think it's best to strain it after blending but to each his own.

Sounds amazing! Say, to clarify on the 2 days part--is it only good for up to 2 days; must be consumed immediately? Also, do you put in fridge? If so, would it last longer? Thank you in advance!

Misty, yes, it should be kept in an airtight container in the fridge, and my experience is that most nut milk only lasts about 2-3 days after the day you make it (I say 2 to be safe, but you could use judgment). I know it's not a long life, but you can definitely freeze anything you don't use!
