Ingredients

1cuprawor freshly roasted pecans

4cupswaterdivided

2tbspmaple syruptaste

½tsppure vanilla extract

sea salt

Preparation

If you have soaked your pecans, rinse them in a fine-mesh sieve under running water.

Place the pecans in your blender and add 2 cups of the water. Blend until the mixture is creamy and completely smooth, about 1 minute.

Add the remaining 2 cups water, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, the vanilla and a couple dashes of salt (salt just amplifies the other flavors). Blend again to combine. Taste, and add additional maple syrup if you would like a sweeter milk.

Serve immediately or refrigerate it, covered, for up to 5 days.
