Pistachio Milk

I have really gotten into nut milks so I figured I'd try a version using my favorite nuts (aka. pistachios). It turned out really delicious and it's actually easy to make using my recipe. Plus, when you finish making the milk, you can use the leftover nut pulp to make pistachio butter. Give it a try!
