This process may have a destructive effect on the structure of the nuts essential fats and vitamins which are heat sensitive. I am not sure about the cost, it entirely depends on which nuts you use, the volume you buy them at (more = cheaper) and where you buy them from. I can't imagine it costing as much as a carton, however, you can only but try. Producers benefit from economies of scale, however, the taste and nutritional benefit is far superior in my mind. Remember, by making your own you can make as much or as little as you want (but hear in mind that it will only last for 4 days max in the fridge). If a cup of nuts is out of your budget the try less, but always use the ratio of 1 portion of nuts to two portions of water in your calculations.

How does the cost work out? Realise it depends on which nuts you use but is it possible to make nut milk for less than you would pay for prepared given nuts are quite expensive? (Of course the benefit of knowing what you are putting into the mixture would be well worth it!) Wow, so easy to make.
