How to Use a Nut Milk Bag?

Using a nut milk bag is a simple process to strain liquids from solids, especially when making homemade nut milk. Here's a comprehensive guide:

Preparing the Bag

Cleanliness is Key: Always start with a clean nut milk bag. Wash it with mild soap and warm water before each use, and rinse thoroughly.
Positioning: Place the nut milk bag inside a large bowl or over a pitcher. The top edges of the bag should be folded over the rim for stability.

Pour the Mixture: Carefully pour your blended nut mixture into the bag.
Secure the Top: Gather the top edges of the bag and hold them firmly, ensuring no mixture spills out.
Gentle Kneading: As the video demonstrates, gently knead or squeeze the bag. The liquid will begin to flow out.
- Avoid excessive force to prevent the bag from bursting.
- Keep the kneading action gentle and consistent as mentioned in the reference at [0:07].
Extract the Liquid: Continue squeezing and kneading the bag until most of the liquid is strained out.
Final Press: Once most of the liquid is extracted, you can give the bag a final, firm press to remove any remaining liquid. The process, from start to finish, takes only a minute or two (as shown in the video up to [1:24]).
Separate Solids and Liquid: The liquid will be collected in the bowl or pitcher. The solids, or pulp, will remain in the bag.

Empty the Pulp: Carefully remove the pulp from the bag. The pulp can be used for other recipes or composted.
Cleaning the Bag: Immediately wash the bag with mild soap and warm water, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to air dry.
