Brazil Nut Strawberry Milk

1 cup brazil nuts, soaked overnight

2 cups strawberries

4 cups water

5 dates, pitted

1 tsp vanilla extract

pinch sea salt

seeds of 1 cardamom pod (optional)

Combine all ingredients, except strawberries, in a high-speed blender for a couple of minutes. Strain the liquid either through a fine mesh colander or cheese cloth. This milk will be delicious in its own right, but for strawberry flavor combine berries and strained milk in the blender for another couple of minutes. Chill and serve.
