Ingredients
- 1 cup raw or roasted unsalted peanuts
- 4 cups water (for blending and soaking)
- Optional sweeteners: dates, maple syrup, or honey
- Optional flavorings: vanilla extract, cinnamon, or a pinch of salt
Instructions
- Soak the peanuts in water for at least 6 hours or overnight. If short on time, soak them in hot water for 1 hour.
- Drain and rinse the peanuts.
- In a high-speed blender, add the soaked peanuts and fresh water, then blend until completely smooth (about 1–2 minutes).
- If desired, add sweeteners like dates, maple syrup, or honey, along with any flavorings like vanilla or cinnamon, and blend again.
- Strain the milk through a nut milk bag, cheesecloth, or fine mesh strainer to remove the pulp.
- Transfer the milk to a sealed container and refrigerate. Shake well before using, as natural separation occurs.
Notes
- This recipe makes about 4 cups of peanut milk.
- For chocolate peanut milk, blend in cocoa powder and maple syrup.
- For extra creaminess, reduce the water slightly when blending.
- For a spiced version, add cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg.
- Store in the fridge for 4–5 days.
- If avoiding sweeteners, leave out dates or add a pinch of salt for balance.
