Walnut and Raspberry Milkshake
June 4, 2015
First you're making nut milk, then adding flavour. The trick is to strain it twice - first when you make the nut milk, and again after adding the raspberries - otherwise the berry seeds can make it kind of grainy.
Directions
1Drain walnuts and sultanas well. Place in blender with water and blend until smooth and creamy. Strain through a clean piece of muslin over a sieve, or use a nut milk/sprouting bag. Remove pulp and set aside to use in another recipe (see below).
2Return 1 cup of milk to blender and add berries and honey. Blend and strain again. It is vital to drink this with a cool straw.
Variation: Make chocolate milk instead by leaving out the berries and honey, and substitute with 1 heaped tablespoon cacao or cocoa powder, a splash of maple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Leftover nut pulp can be used to make brownies – like this, or in cereal – like this. But wait, there’s more – someone has gone to the trouble of finding 133 ways to use it. If you just can’t figure out what to do with it, throw it in a resealable bag and freeze it until inspiration hits. Or failing all of that, given it to some happy chickens – they will thank you in their understated way, once they stop fighting over it.
