Why couldn’t you add a date in at the same time your blending the nuts? Just curious.
If you have a high speed blender, no need to strain. Just start with a little water until it’s well blended, then blend the rest.
Even with a high speed blender there’s plenty of pulp to strain out, but it’s your prerogative if you don’t mind that. I notice a smoother milk when I soak the nuts beforehand and the final product doesn’t separate like it usually does with unsoaked nuts. I just pour through a mesh strainer instead of the messy nut bag so there’s no time added.
