But you should discard the water in which you soak nuts. This water is dirty and has all the toxins that broke away from nuts during the soaking time. 
 Now your nuts have become perfect for munching. 
But in order to make honey nuts, you need to dry nuts. First, clear away the water with a cloth. Strain all nuts and then shift them to a clotg ti remove excess water. 
You may dry nuts either under the fan, in the sun, or in the air fryer. Air fry at the lowest temperature for 30 min Or more. 
Once dried, it's time to let them cool down before dropping them in a glass jar.first, add spices of choice. ,cinnamon, star anise, cloves, add nuts, Pour honey into the jar. Add Nigella seeds for an extra flavor punch. Then nut honey combination is an immunity booster, helps lower cholesterol, bost immunity, good for skin, rich in antioxidant, antibacterial, anti inflammatory, improve memory,, prevent anemia, helps fight insomnia.

Can we use the soaked water for millets? Does millet need to be soaked?

Do millets contain anti-nutrients? Yes, they do. In fact, all whole grains, including oats, contain phytates, which bind to minerals and make their absorption difficult for the body. Soaking is the first step toward reducing anti-nutrients from millets. Soak for at least 6-8 hours to make digestion easier. Discard the soaked water and then proceed to the next step of cooking. Remove foam from top to reduce gassy elements from millets.  How long should millet be soaked before cooking? Soaking the millets overnight is a safe practice. Soaking breaks down the phytic acid in millets or for that matter grains and nuts. Phytic acid hinders the absorption of minerals and nutrients in food, including calcium, iron, and zinc. How? Phytates bind to minerals and nutrients and make their absorption difficult in the gut. Your tummy finds it tough to digest millets in that case. So soaking millets and draining off that soaked water makes it easier on your tummy.  Are millets safe for thyroid? Does
