RAW ALMOND MILK
Ingredients :
1 cup raw almonds
Water for soaking nuts
3 cups water
2 dates (optional)
1/2 tsp vanilla (optional)
Preparation:
Soak the almonds in water overnight or for at least 8 hours.
Drain almonds and discard water.
Blend almonds with the 3 cups of water at the highest speed for 2 minutes. Pulse the blender a few times to break up the almonds, then blend continuously for two minutes. The almonds should be broken down into a very fine meal and the water should be white and opaque
You can add dates or vanilla for a sweeter flavor.
Strain the blended almond mixture using a cheesecloth or a very fine strainer.
Homemade raw almond milk will keep well in the refrigerator for three or four days.
You can use the remaining almond pulp for cookies, cakes, nut pates, or simply as a nut-butter-like treat.
Fresh, raw homemade almond milk is a easy to make from scratch, a real treat! Use your homemade almond milk in smoothies or shakes, soups and other recipes instead of any other milk
