Instructions

Add the macadamia nuts to a small jar and cover with 1 cup water. Soak for 2 hours then drain the nuts.

Add the nuts, remaining 3 cups of water, and optional flavorings to a blender and blend on high speed until smooth– about 2 minutes.

Pour the mixture through a milk nut bag into a large bowl. Make sure to squeeze any excess liquid from the nut milk bag.

Transfer the milk to an airtight container and store in the fridge until ready to enjoy. Discard after 1 week. Shake before serving.

Notes

Most recipes recommend raw macadamia nuts, but I’ve found this recipe works with both raw and toasted, just make sure they’re unsalted!

Medjool dates are used to sweeten the milk, but you can also use honey, maple syrup, or your liquid sweetener of choice.

Vanilla adds a subtle sweetness to the milk that’s great if you’re drinking the milk straight or using it in sweet baking.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Soak Overnight for Creaminess 💧
Soak macadamia nuts in filtered water for 8-12 hours to soften them completely, which yields a silkier, more luxurious milk with better blending efficiency.
Strain Through Nut Milk Bag Twice 🥛
Use a fine mesh nut milk bag and strain your blended mixture twice for ultra-smooth texture, preventing any gritty particles that compromise the final product.
Toast Nuts Before Soaking 🔥
Lightly toast macadamia nuts for 5-7 minutes at 300°F before soaking to enhance their natural buttery flavor and add deeper complexity to your finished milk.
Blend with Soaking Water for Richness 💪
Reserve a portion of the soaking water to blend with your nuts instead of using fresh water—it contains dissolved nutrients and starch that create a creamier consistency naturally.
Shake Before Every Use ✨
Macadamia milk naturally separates in storage; shake vigorously before each use to recombine the fat and liquid, ensuring consistent creamy texture in your beverages and recipes.
