Why do I need to soak the sesame seeds overnight?

Soaking the raw sesame seeds helps to soften them, making them easier to blend into a smooth, creamy milk and potentially improving digestibility.

Can I skip straining the sesame seed milk?

Yes, you can skip the straining step if you plan to use the milk immediately in smoothies, as the pulp will add extra fiber and thickness.

What can I use instead of a nut milk bag for straining?

If you don't have a nut milk bag, you can use a fine mesh strainer, though a nut milk bag is recommended for the smoothest result.

How long does this homemade sesame seed milk last?

Store the sesame seed milk in a jar with a lid in the fridge and use it within 3 days for best freshness.

What are the optional ingredients for this sesame seed milk?

You can add 2 dates for sweetness, 1/2 tablespoon of vanilla for flavor, and a tiny pinch of salt and cinnamon to enhance the taste.
