I've eventually come to the conclusion that I need to make a recipe that works for my tastes, easy to make and fuss-free. So here's my recipe that you might want to try or adapt to suit your needs.

Storing nut-milk

This recipe last in the fridge for about three days as it has no preserving agents. As this nut-milk is so easy to make and takes about three minutes to make I make little often. I tend to make 2-3 times a week depending on what I need it for.

Make it creamier

If you'd like a more richer or creamer texture then add more nuts before blending.
