- Once the edamame is soaked. Add to a blender, along with 1-2 large dates, 5 cups of filtered water, 1/2 tsp vanilla and blend until thoroughly combined.
- Pass the mixture through a fine sieve/nut milk bag or cheesecloth. Then pour into air tight glass bottles.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to a week. And enjoy on its own, in smoothies or oats, in shakes… the options are endless!
Notes
** I used roasted edamame. They are dry roasted and have an amazing roasted nutty flavor. You can alternatively use thawed edamame (not roasted) and just skip the soaking step and add a pinch of salt . (The flavor will be slightly different though)
** I used dates as a sweetener. You can absolutely omit these if you are looking for a neutral flavor or used 2 tbs of maple syrup as another sweet alternative.
** for this recipe I used a fine sieve to strain out the milk. It was perfect. You can also use a nut milk bag or cheesecloth. Be aware as the milk sits, there will be separation. Just be sure to shake before using :) Click here to purchase the same one I used for this recipe.
