Follow The Directions

01

Step

Combine water and flax seeds in a high-speed blender. (1 minute)

02

Step

Blend on high speed for 1 minute to begin breaking down the seeds. (1 minute)

03

Step

Let the mixture rest to allow the flax seeds to further soften and release their nutrients. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Blend again on high speed for another minute to achieve a smoother consistency. (1 minute)

05

Step

Allow the mixture to rest once more. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Give it a final blend for 30 seconds to ensure all seeds are well-processed. (30 seconds)

07

Step

Strain the milk through a nut milk bag or a cheesecloth-lined strainer into a clean pitcher or glass container.

08

Step

Use the back of a spoon to gently press the solids and extract as much liquid as possible.

09

Step

Gather the cheesecloth around the remaining solids, twist, and squeeze to extract every last drop of flax seed milk.

For a thicker, creamier milk, reduce the amount of water used. This will result in a consistency closer to that of heavy cream, ideal for enriching sauces or desserts.
Store your homemade flax seed milk in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Consider adding a touch of sweetener, such as maple syrup or dates, or a pinch of vanilla extract for added flavor.
