Place nuts in a bowl and then pour some water over the nuts until they are completely covered.

Let the nuts soak in that water for 4-12 hours. The longer the better but no longer than 12 hours.

Pour out the water that the nuts soaked in and discard.

Pour the soaked nuts into a blender and add 4 cups of filtered water.  If you want it a little sweetened (which is how i love it!) also add in 1-2 pitted dates, vanilla extract and salt.  Blend on high until white and there are no big chunks of nuts.

Line a bowl or large pyrex measuring cup with a nut milk bag and pour the mixture into the bag.

Pick the bag up and slowly squeeze out the nut milk until all of the liquid is removed.

Store in a glass jar in your refrigerator for up to 5 days.
