*Directions for Nut Cream

Soak almonds and pine nuts overnight. Rinse and discard water.

Blend 1 cup pine nuts with 1 cup water and squeeze through sprout/nut milk bag.

Continue this alternating process until you reach the 5 cups needed for the recipe.

-This is the basis for making what we call nut cream, which is good for any cream soup base or nut milk ice cream.
