Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds, hazelnuts, pistachios, pecans, walnuts, cashews, or peanuts
- 4 teaspoons agave syrup (nectar)
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
Instructions

Transfer to airtight container and chill until cold.
- DO AHEAD: Nuts can be soaked 2 days ahead; cover. Nut milk can be made 3 days ahead; keep chilled.
