- It's like a creamy garden gnome.
- Ewww.
(fanfare music)
- Can you milk a nut?
Last night I put out a tweet.
Just to say
hey I got this crazy idea for for a video.
Do you guys want to see it?
And it kinda blew up.
Very very quickly indeed.
So thank you very much for that.
I did get this amazing GIF.
If we can embed it on the screen right now?
I'm not sure.
That is basically my dream.
Someone trying to actually milk a nut.
I've already started this video.
Because behind me right there
are three different nuts.
So you're probably wondering how they got there.
Let's rewind to last night.
(rewinding sound)
Good evening ladies and gents.
Welcome to the night before
where you were just introduced to.
To make nut milk
we need to not only acquire some actual proper stuff
that you buy in the supermarket anyway
but we need some nuts that we're going to soak overnight.
So the shop is just about to shut.
It's quite late.
I'm tired.
But we're gonna bomb there.
I'm gonna go get some nuts.
In the style of Mr. T, right?
Alright, so we're now in the Bazmobile.
The interior light is giving me a nice halo effect.
I actually have 10 minutes until the shop shuts.
The cool thing is with making your own nut milk apparently
is there's so many nuts that you can do it with.
Almonds, hazelnuts and peanuts.
That's what we're gonna do.
Who's happened?
(laughing)
The pine nuts, peanuts, macadamias, hazelnuts and almonds
all need eight to 12 hours.
And we've got that.
♪ Walking in Memphis. ♪
♪ But do you really feel the way I feel? ♪
Anytime I'm ever this late to the supermarket
is when I've forgotten someone's birthday.
Normally Mrs. Barry's to be honest.
(upbeat music)
For nut milk the only ingredients you need
are nuts and water.
That's it.
But we'll pick up some normal almond milk.
Hazelnuts.
200 grammes of each.
Skin on.
Shell on almonds.
Shell on peanuts might be harder.
The hell is a tiger nut?
Alright, we'll just go for some standard peanuts then.
Yup these will do.
(bag crinkling noises)
Alright what are your thoughts?
- I'm going to bed.
- That is cold water.
We simply let them soak like that.
I'm nut an nut expert.
So I'm gonna leave this by it.
Says eight hours.
They're probably gonna get a little more than that.
In the mornings
I like to go for a run at the moment.
So let's skip to that.
It's quarter to six in the morning.
(polka music)
Whoo.
Seriously you got to try that.
So you can make almond milk just by water and nuts
as we found out.
And we got them here now.
They're murky from overnight.
Let's give ya a little update of what it's looking like.
So this is the hazelnut milk.
So bear in mind, last night
when you guys were snoring
this water was all sort of clear.
But can you see?
It's murky.
These nuts now should
you should be able to get the skins off them quite easy.
- Look.
- Is it just coming off?
- I'm using my nail.
- Ohhh.
Right, you got a lot of nuts to get on with.
I'll see you in a bit.
Oh no.
There not really coming apart that easily.
- You got a big one now in there.
- Got one!
- You got to dig your nail in it.
That's an almond.
What if you rub two together?
Nope.
(laughing)
It'll take ages.
Alright.
This is nut fun.
You're supposed to laugh.
- Ha ha.
Do you know a really good way to get the skins off hazelnuts
is to toast them in a pan.
And they flake off.
- Where will you do that?
(trumpet music)
- Got to keep them moving.
Cause they can burn really easily.
I'm just hoping that this will dry them out
and they'll flake away.
We're gonna try something.
- Try what?
- Don't worry.
Daddy does lots of experiments in
when you guys are at school.
But you probably don't want to copy.
It all works out in the end, alright?
That's the story.
I don't know if you remember
where we could shake up garlic
in a Tupperware bowl like this.
And it actually gets rid of the skin.
This is my theory.
The other way you can do it is with a kitchen towel.
We'll try this way first.
(rattling sounds)
I think it's working.
Oh my gosh.
Look it splattered.
(polka music)
Finding my daughter
well one of them
she might want to do this in a minute.
- Can I do it?
- Yes.
(laughing)
(shaking noise)
Nut milk, it's basically child labour.
(polka music)
It's taking awhile.
But it's working.
(drilling noise)
Look all of that dirt has come out of it.
This is awesome.
Cause they're toasted as well now.
Driving more flavour into it.
And even if I focus the camera
that might make it interesting.
(water running)
Walla, look at that.
In conclusion if I were you
I don't know if it's gonna matter
just get blanched nuts.
You don't have to do this step.
Alright so the peanuts have already been done anyway.
The girls are just finishing the almonds.
The hazelnuts are done.
The next step is actually grinding them up.
Now the really cool thing that I found out
is whatever nuts that you use
that surplus
you can actually grind up even more.
And make hazelnut flour.
Almond flour.
Whatever flour.
Which is actually really expensive in the shops.
We just take the actual fluid from it
by adding more water.
So this is the only brand of almond milk
I've ever tried.
And I don't mind it.
Let me show you.
It's a little creamy in colour.
Almond milk that tastes good.
That tastes of almonds.
It's the vegan alternative to milk obviously.
Just like all of these nut milks.
Do you want to try some?
To me, I like it.
But it does taste really chalky.
You know?
Our free nuts are down there.
I did actually read if you soak it for up to two days
that get creamier.
So we've done ours for about 12 hours in total.
Next step
we've got a really high power food processor.
Unfortunately the capacity on it
means I've had to halve the nuts.
So girls, you actually ended up peeling more than we needed.
- Ohhh.
- Stick the nuts into there.
Yeah, go mate.
Water in please.
About 500 millilitres.
Nice.
- That's a lot.
- So it actually made it quite murky right away.
It looks like a bit of a...
Well I think I've drunk worse than that
some nights out back in my hay day.
But lid goes back on.
- Why not drink?
- You want to drink it?
Lock it in.
Alright ready?
Press.
(grinding noise)
To be honest I think you did it in about 5 seconds.
This is a very powerful powerful blender.
Press it for more power to get any of that excess nuts
which can be used to make nut flour.
I think I might have obliterated it.
(laughing)
This thing.
Hygiene.
(doorbell)
(dog barking)
It's the postman.
- Got it.
It's very thin and fine fibre.
It's kinda like a sieve, really.
- I smell something.
- You smell something?
The smell of success.
Oh wow.
It's got a foamed head on it.
It's like a beer.
You guys had a beer before?
- No.
- You want one?
Oh look at that.
- It's weighing it down, isn't it?
Wow.
- So you want to squeeze this.
Squeeze it girls.
Gently.
That's it.
Alright.
So just let it dribble.
- It's like dough in there.
- Is there actually stuff in there?
- Yeah.
- Oh wow.
- It looks hard like dough.
But it's actually liquid.
- Squeeze it out.
(grunting)
It's like milking a cow.
This thing we were left with.
Let's have a look of that Phoebes?
Look at that it's really like...
- Squishy.
- Yeah.
Look at that.
- Whoa.
- Let's move it so it doesn't fall into that bowl.
- Can we eat it?
- You can.
But it's not very nice.
But you can.
You're left with that stuff in there
it's pure peanut milk.
We're gonna do the same thing two more times
with the almonds and the hazelnuts.
Then we'll have three different milks
that we'll make Mrs. Barry taste test.
- Is there more?
- You insanely naughty children.
What are you doing?
(laughter)
No no.
This is not fun.
(organ music)
- Look Mrs. Barry's here.
- That is the strangest thing I've ever seen.
- I bet it's not.
- You're milking a cow Phoebe.
- Is that the same or?
- It's a bit creamy.
It's not as crumbly.
- Good for your skin.
- Is it?
- Too late for me.
(crying)
(soft music)
- The Muzzle Tower will help us.
- Oh yeah.
- I can nut believe we are making this.
- Just ignore her girls.
- I can nut.
- She'll go away in a minute.
(laughing)
- It's smells like Nutella.
- Yes it's hazelnuts.
- It's moulded.
I can just pick that up.
It's like a ball.
- Okay the kids are letting off some steam.
I think that was quite a success.
To be fair they've done very well.
You can actually flavour it.
And sweeten it a little bit
with like honeys and sugars.
Don't know if we'll do that.
I now present to you
the great British nut taste test off.
- Wait.
Okay.
There's your chair.
- We can't see a thing.
- Thanks Presley.
- Is the camera on?
- Yes.
For the people watching it's this.
- Is that your hand?
Ohhh.
- Try it then.
- I don't want to get milk on my scarf.
- Oh my gosh that tastes like garden water.
(laughter)
- Ewww.
- One, two, three.
- [Both] Peanuts.
- Yeah!
- The peanuts.
Yes.
But that was only by smell.
- Really?
Oh I could taste it.
- This is what it is.
- [Both] Ohhhh.
- Yeah.
That's strong.
- I know what this one is.
- Oh that's nice.
Oh wow.
- It's alright.
I wouldn't say it's nice.
- No, I like that a lot.
That's not watery.
That's creamy.
- Ugh!
That's got a really awful after.
- Three, two, one.
- [Both] Hazelnut.
- Yeah!
It is, isn't?
That doesn't need sweetening or anything.
That's nice.
I'd say that first one
which was the peanut
needs sweetening.
So this would be the almond?
- No.
- Unless you're gonna trick us.
Oh that's different.
That's got a different pong, isn't it?
- Oh no, I hate almonds.
- You hate almonds?
- Yeah.
- Oh.
There goes the almond aftertaste.
Oh that's sort of semi-creamy, isn't it?
That's like a creamy garden gnome.
Eww.
- But you know what?
- There's an aftertaste there.
- You know when I said I hate almonds.
- Yeah.
- It's your favourite one.
- I actually like that one best.
(laughter)
- Mmmm.
Okay wait.
You stay blindfolded a minute, Mrs. B.
- Me?
- Just because her taste buds are stimulated right now.
Hang on.
Try this.
(laughter)
You don't like it?
Is that worse than what you just had?
- Yeah.
What have you done to that?
- Take the blindfold off.
That is actual proper store bought almond milk.
- Really?
- You prefer ours than that?
- I do.
Yeah.
That's got a funny taste.
- Well there goes that sponsorship video?
(laughter)
Store bought.
(laughter)
Alright you bunch of nuts
I found that a fun project.
It's healthy.
And it's quite
I don't know, interesting.
It was for us anyway.
Hope you enjoyed the video.
You guys did want to see it.
So hopefully we fulfilled that.
Experiment with yourselves.
Soak it for longer maybe.
What do you think?
- My favourite bit was when we squeezed the thing.
And they seemed snowy.
- The nut udders.
Mrs. B?
- Homemade is the way to go.
Definitely.
- My favourite bit was when we pressed the blender.
- My favourite bit is when we end the video.
- [Family] Bye!
(upbeat rap)
- Ladies and gents
here is a simple bowl of cocoa pocks with hazelnut milk.
Which could potentially be Nutella in a bowl.
Mmmm.
Oh my word.
The strength of those nuts.
What's the matter?
Why are you covering your face?
- I don't know.
- Oh my gosh.
That is really good.
It's not Nutella.
It's more Nuttta.
Lots of nuts.
It's very strong nutty.
Can I have that for breakfast everyday?
- What are you asking me for?
I don't make your breakfast.
- That's right.
You don't, yeah.
Why am I asking you?
I'm gonna have that for breakfast.
That's actually really really good.
So there we go guys.
It's all done.
