If I make blend 100g of brazil nuts in a blender and strain the fibre.. is there any fat left in the milk?

also can anyone reccomend a good nut straining bag?

I'm going to guess that most of the fat from the nut has now gone into the milk, provided you have ground it pretty finely in the blender.

I just started making nutmilk, and don't have a nutmilk bag yet, so I've been improvising. I've used a large piece if fine mesh netting that I got at the fabric store for $1, a fine mesh kitchen strainer, and recently I had the idea to try using a lingerie bag that I had lying around. The bag is easier to clean, and works so well that I don't think I'll bother getting a nutmilk bag.

Most of the fat is in the milk. Hope that's what you are after smiling smiley

I juice my nuts (soaked) with fresh water and get lovely nut milk - no need for any straining at all. Also just made sesame seed milk and that too is delicious.

That's an interesting idea... Is your pulp nice and dry?
