Method and device for making nut butter and nut milk

A method for producing nut and/or seed milks using a device, the device having a base with a motor, an outer container positioned above the base, and a mixing container positioned within the outer container, the steps of the method consisting of:

• adding a desired amount of nuts and/or seeds into the mixing container of the device, wherein the mixing container has inner sidewalls and a bottom surface, the inner sidewalls being substantially vertical;
• activating a cutting device positioned within the mixing container between two and twenty minutes until the nuts and/or seeds are pulverized into a butter, the cutting device being driven by the motor, wherein the cutting device comprises a central hub and at least two blades, the at least two blades are vertically offset and each have a blade tip, each blade tip is positioned a radial distance from the inner sidewalls of the mixing container, the radial distance between the inner sidewalls and each blade tip is approximately 2.29 to 2.79 mm (0.09 to 0.11 inches), and a bottom blade of the at least two blades is spaced approximately 1.02 to 1.78 mm (0.04 to 0.07 inches) from the bottom surface of the mixing container;
• adding a liquid to the mixing container after the step of pulverizing the nuts and/or seeds into the butter, wherein the mixing container has at least one screen arranged in the inner sidewalls thereof, the at least one screen having a plurality of holes which are initially clogged by the butter which prevents the liquid from exiting the mixing container through the at least one screen when the liquid is added to the mixing container;
• activating the cutting device for one to three minutes until the butter and the liquid are emulsified into a milk, wherein the plurality of holes of the at least one screen are sized just large enough to allow the milk to freely pass therethrough;
• and
• draining the milk through a pour spout arranged on the outer container, whereby the milk inside the mixing container passes through the at least one screen into the outer container and then out of the outer container through the pour spout.
