Pistachio Nut Milk
If you love making your own milk-alternatives at home you definitely have to try this one! It has all that great pistachio flavor and is so simple to make in your own kitchen. There are so many different ways to use this delicious milk-alternative (you HAVE to try this Pistachio Milk Latte). Get creative and let us know how you like to enjoy it!
What You Will Need
- raw, shelled pistachios – it’s best to use pain ones that have not been salted, but if you can’t find those we have rinsed the salted pistachios under water and they work in a pinch.
- water – this is the only liquid you will need to turn pistachios into delicious pistachio milk!
How To Make Pistachio Milk
Step one – shell enough pistachios to equal 1 cup. If they have been lightly salted, make sure you give them a rinse.
Step two – place the shelled pistachios and water in a blender.
Step three – blend on high for 1-2 minutes.
Step four – strain the pistachio milk through a cheesecloth and sieve.
Step five – cover and store in the fridge.
Step six – or enjoy immediately!
How to Make Pistachio Milk FAQ
We recommend using raw pistachios that have been shelled and are unsalted. If you can’t find plain, raw pistachios you can use the lightly salted ones and then give them a rinse before placing them in the blender. We have done this when that is all the grocery store has and it still works.
We really like the ratio of 1 cup pistachios to 4 cups of cold water but this can be a personal preference. Give it a try and you can always adjust the ratio to make the oat milk that works for you!
You can use it the same way that you would use any milk-alternative. You can drink it by itself, add it to coffee or smoothies, pour it over cereal, use it for baking/cooking, etc. We love it in a Pistachio Latte!
It can simply be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. As it sits you might notice a little separation but that is completely normal. Just give it a shake before using.
