Instructions
  1. Soak the pecans in water for at least 4 hours or overnight to soften them.

  3. In a blender, combine the soaked pecans with 4 cups of fresh water. Add maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt if desired.
  4. Blend on high speed for about 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  5. Line a large bowl with a nut milk bag or cheesecloth. Pour the blended mixture into the lined bowl.

  9. Shake well before using, as the milk may separate over time. Enjoy your homemade pecan milk in smoothies, coffee, or on its own!
