Frequently Asked Questions About Walnut-Soaked Water
How do you make walnut-soaked water?
To make walnut-soaked water, rinse shelled walnuts, cover them with drinking water, and leave them in a covered container in the refrigerator overnight. Strain the walnuts before drinking; you can eat the softened walnuts separately.
Is walnut-soaked water good for you?
Walnut-soaked water has no proven special health benefit. Most of a walnut’s nutrients stay in the nut rather than moving into the water, so eating the soaked walnuts is a more useful way to get what the whole food provides.
Does walnut-soaked water help with weight loss?
No, walnut-soaked water does not burn fat or cause weight loss by itself. Unsweetened, it can be a light drink, but it is not a weight-loss remedy, and the soaked walnuts are more filling than the strained water.
Should you drink the water walnuts were soaked in?
Yes, you can drink walnut-soaked water if it was prepared with clean water and kept refrigerated. Some people discard it because it can taste bitter or look cloudy; drinking it does not provide the same nutrients as eating the walnuts.
How long should walnuts soak for walnut-soaked water?
Walnuts are usually soaked for about 6–8 hours or overnight to make walnut-soaked water. Keep them covered in the refrigerator while soaking, and avoid leaving them for much longer, as the water can develop a stronger, bitter taste.
Can you leave walnuts out overnight to make walnut-soaked water?
It is safer to soak walnuts in the refrigerator rather than leave them on the counter overnight. Use a clean, covered container and drinking water; chilling also helps keep the soaking water fresh until you strain it.
Does walnut-soaked water lower blood sugar?
No, walnut-soaked water is not proven to lower blood sugar or treat diabetes. It is not a substitute for prescribed care, and the walnuts themselves—not the strained water—provide most of the food’s nutrients.
Should you peel walnuts before making walnut-soaked water?
No, peeling walnuts is not necessary for walnut-soaked water. The thin brown skin can make the water taste more astringent, so rinse the walnuts first and discard the soaking water if its bitterness is unpleasant.
Can walnut-soaked water replace walnut milk?
No, walnut-soaked water is not the same as walnut milk. It is the water left after soaking whole walnuts, while walnut milk is made by blending walnuts with water and usually straining the mixture, giving it a different texture and composition.
What should you do with the walnuts after making walnut-soaked water?
Eat the soaked walnuts or use them in food rather than expecting the water to contain everything the nuts provide. They can be added to oatmeal, salads, or a smoothie; refrigerate them if you are not using them right away.

What is Walnut-Soaked Water?
Walnut-Soaked Water is made by leaving walnut kernels in water for a while; it may be strained before drinking. It is a simple home preparation rather than a standard drink with one established tradition. The strained liquid is thin and water-like, with a faint nutty taste, and is usually sipped plain, chilled or at room temperature.
It is very light: the supplied figures give 4 calories per 100 g. The liquid is not nutritionally equivalent to eating the walnuts themselves, so have the kernels separately if you want them too. Enjoy it on its own or alongside breakfast; dilute it with fresh water if you prefer a subtler flavour.
