    Pistachio Mylk with Rose Water

    I know milking a nut {a pistachio nut, to be specific} isn't exactly rocket science, considering nut mylk has pretty much become a staple milk alternative. But I thought this one was worth sharing a recipe for because:

    a. I've been a little pistachio obsessed lately {ice cream, cake, + a ton more recipes coming your way}{Prettiest nut in the world!}

    b. Because once you have pistachio mylk you'll have a hard time going back to boring ol' almond mylk

    c. ...especially because pistachio milk is a whole lot less work {no nut milk bag required, no pre-soaking, and you get to keep more of the nutrients in}, and...

    d. ... it's absolutely delicious!

    e. And once you dress it up with a hint of sweetener and some rose water you'll want to sing it praises too ;)

    I can keep going here, but I think you get the point. Making pistachio mylk is instant and easy -- it's a softer nut, so your mylk won't be gritty or grainy {unlike when using something like almonds or hazelnuts, etc.} and that of course also means no soaking or straining required. If you want the mylk to be even smoother, use blanched pistachios.

    It's an awesome switch from other non-dairy milks -- mellow but delicious -- and it can be used as a simple milk alternative, a smoothie base, or if glam it up a little with an added hint of sweetener and some rose water it becomes this amazing drink that's both delicious and nutritious!

    A simple raw, vegan, refined-sugar free pistachio milk recipe.

    • Author: Audrey @ Unconventional Baker
    • Prep Time: 5 minutes
    • Total Time: 5 minutes
    • Yield: close to 2 cups
    • Category: Drinks
    • Method: Raw
    • Cuisine: Refreshment

    Ingredients

    Pistachio Mylk:

    • ½ cup raw shelled pistachios {roasted is fine too, but definitely not salted ;)}
    • 1½ cups cold water {room temp is fine too}

    Optional Add-Ins {Highly Recommended!}:

    • 1 tbsp maple syrup {or your favorite liquid sweetener, like agave, or even a date or two, etc.}
    • ½ tbsp rose water {or more to taste}
    • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
    • ¼ tsp pure almond extract
    • tiny dash of salt
    • tiny dash of cinnamon

    Instructions

    1. Place pistachios and water in a high power blender {I used my Vitamix for this} and blend until completely smooth.
    2. Add all the add-ins {if using} and blend once more to mix everything through. Pour into your favorite pretty cup or over some cereal and enjoy!

    Notes

    If your blender is not so great,you may want to put the blended mylk through a nut milk bag after all.

    If you want your mylk very cold, add a few ice cubes towards the end of the blending process.

        Yes -- it's really good in all breakfasty things. I haven't tried it in a nice cream yet, but I usually don't add liquids to mine -- flavor-wise though it would be delicious for sure!

      Absolutely gorgeous! I don't know why but I've never thought to make milk from a softer nut. I love that you don't have to plan ahead, you can just toss it all in the blender.

        Yes, that's the best part, Brianna. Cashews work well like that too by the way -- instant cashew milk, no mess, straining, or residue to deal with... Best!

      This is such a great idea. I've never actually tried making a nut milk, but I think if I did it'd be pistachio milk. And I've already been on a rose water kick lately. It just sounds so tasty.

        Thanks Kalinda -- yes, this is such a simple way to enjoy this flavor combo :) Even if you're not dairy-free, homemade nut milks can be absolutely delicious!

      I absolutely LOVE pistachio milk. I thought that I would never go back to almond or coconut after the first time I made it. I'm dreaming of it flavored with rose water now!

        I know, Christina! I just can't get enough of pistachios and rose water. Orange blossom would work well here too, I bet!
