This recipe is made from Almonds because that is what most people are used to, but please try other nuts like: macadamia, sunflower seeds, hemp, etc...
2 cups Almonds, soaked 4-6hours
1-2 cups Water
3 cups Hot water
Vanilla, Sea Salt, and Sweetener to taste

Soak Nut/Seed over night with enough water to cover well as they will swell.
With Almonds, you don't have to measure the water because you will be discarding it. Bitter.
Macadamia nuts, save the water for the blender.

This is the set up I use:
Measuring bowl on bottom.
Some sort of screen to suspend the colander.
A colander.
Cheese cloth big enough to line the colander.

Discard the soaking liquid (if using almonds) and add nuts to your blender with enough water to make it blend into a slurry. About 1 cup will do it for this type of blender with multiple blades.
While this is blending. Bring your water to boil.

Pour slurry into the cheese cloth.
No need for a spatula. I just pour the hot water into the blender to get the rest of the pulp out.

Pour the hot water over the pulp. let it sit and do its business of dripping for about 10-15min.
Then lift the pulp and squeeze out the remaining liquid. If its still too hot to touch you can either wait, or use a spoon to push the liquid out by trapping the ball against the side of the colander.
Add salt, vanilla and stevia or other sweetener to taste. Stir.
Enjoy hot or cold.
