5 surprising ways to use your nut mylk bag (beyond nut milk)
5 surprising ways to use your nut mylk bag (beyond nut milk)
It's no secret that we love making our own nut milk — a homemade batch of plant-based milk is simply delicious. But that's actually not the only reason the bag is one of our kitchen must-haves.
We're sharing 5 alternative uses, and we think you'll be surprised by how versatile this little tool really is.
01
Fresh, pulp-free juice
Already have a blender or food processor? You really don't need an expensive juicer too. Just blend your favourite fruit or vegetables with a little water for about a minute, then strain through the nut mylk bag for fresh, pulp-free juice in minutes.
Zero-waste tip: Don't toss the leftover pulp — add it to baked goods or homemade date and granola bars for extra fibre and flavour.
02
Sprouting nuts, seeds and grains
Your bag makes an ideal sprouting vessel. Place nuts, seeds, grains or beans inside, soak overnight in water, then drain and hang from the drawstrings over your sink or a bowl. Rinse once daily, and within a few days you'll have fresh, nutritious sprouts ready to eat.
How to use them: Toss sprouts into salads, sandwiches, stir-fries — or pretty much anything you like.
03
Cold brew (and hot coffee in a pinch)
Cold brew is hugely popular right now, and you don't need any special equipment — just your nut mylk bag. It works perfectly for slow-steeping cold brew coffee at home.
Bonus: if you've run out of filters, the bag doubles as a strainer for regular hot coffee too.
Good to know: Cold brew typically steeps for 12–24 hours in the fridge for a smooth, low-acid concentrate.
04
Homemade cheese (yes, really)
Whether you're making traditional cheese or a vegan version, most recipes require draining liquid at some point — and that's exactly where the nut mylk bag shines. It's a brilliant reusable alternative to single-use cheesecloth, and its shape makes draining and moulding simple.

05
Greek yogurt and labneh
Just like cheese, thicker yogurts — Greek style, plant-based labneh, and similar strained varieties — need their whey drained off. The nut mylk bag is perfect for this. A quick search will turn up loads of recipes but drop a comment below if you'd like us to share our favourites.
Also works for: Coconut yogurt, cashew cream cheese, and other cultured plant-based dairy alternatives.
One bag, endless uses.
Organic cotton, Fairtrade certified, and built to last — the Rethink nut mylk bag replaces dozens of single-use items in your kitchen.
