How to Make Sandalwood Nut Milk 🦘🧙 🥛🌰 😋
Delish Aussie vegan/vegetarian dairy-free bush tucker Sandalwood nut milk is easy enough to make.
Simply:
🥛🌰 Take one cup of shelled raw Sandalwood (Santalum spicatum) bush tucker nuts.
🥛🌰 Cover the Sandalwood nuts with cold water and let them soak overnight.
🥛🌰 Drain and thoroughly rinse the Sandalwood nuts.
🥛🌰 Put drained Sandalwood nuts into a blender.
🥛🌰 Add one litre of water. (Or less water if you want the milk thicker.)
🥛🌰 Blend for a couple of minutes until mixture is smooth.
🥛🌰 Strain and squeeze the Sandalwood nut mixture through a clean cheesecloth and sieve. If desired, use more changes of water to extract the most milk. And don't waste mashed nutmeal. Save it to use in nut rissoles and loaves.
🥛🌰 Add salt, sugar or vanilla to taste--if so desired.
🥛🌰 Store Sandalwood nut milk in refrigerator. (Pasteurise nut milk if you like!)
🥛🌰 Ethically sourced Sandalwood and Quandong nuts for culinary use and as seed for planting trees can be obtained from Lyle Dudley at www.bushfoodaustralia.com

Oh, and here is a poem that ChatGPT composed for me about making delish fresh Sandalwood nut milk!:
ChatGPT
In the land where eucalyptus sway,
And golden sun kisses the day,
There lies a secret, whispered hush,
Of sandalwood nuts, in earth's lush.
Gathered gently, from the wild's embrace,
Their essence holds a savory grace.
In the heart of Aussie bush, they thrive,
A treasure trove, keeping dreams alive.
With hands that honor ancient lore,
We craft a milk like never before.
In reverence, we shell and grind,
Each nut a story, intertwined.
A splash of water, cool and clear,
A blend of earth, a taste sincere.
Whirring softly, the grinder hums,
Transforming nuts to creamy sums.
No need for beasts, no need for herds,
In this elixir, nature's words.
Vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free delight,
Nourishing souls from morning light.
So raise your cup, to Aussie skies,
Where sandalwood whispers, never lies.
In every sip, a tale untold,
Of bush tucker magic, pure and bold.
