SWEET VANILLA PECAN MILK

SERVES: 1-2

It’s great to have “nurturing” tasting drinks on hand for the colder months, or for those times when you feel that you want “a hug in a glass”. This is one of those drinks.

EQUIPMENT

Blender, Nut milk bag or Strainer

 

INGREDIENTS

1 cup of pecan nuts (125g/4oz)
3 cups of pure water (approx. 700ml)
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence (or piece of vanilla bean)
2 Medjool dates
2 Tablespoons of dark agave nectar (use 2 more dates if you don't have this)

 

DIRECTIONS

1. Blend your pecans with the water until no pieces left, then strain into a tall jug ready for stage 2.
2. Pour the "clean" milk into the clean blender and add the vanilla, dates and/or agave nectar.
3. Blend thoroughly until all ingredients are fully combined.

 

Raw Coach Top Tips:

• This will keep for roughly a day in the fridge. Try making a less runny version, pour it into a Tupperware container or ice-cream maker and freeze it for a deliciously decadent ice-cream.
