What a wonderful way to start the day - a fresh batch of almond milk! Almond milk is my favorite beverage. It is delicious by itself or with cereal/granola, or as the base for a creamy fruit smoothie. I've also been known to whip up batches of chocolate almond milk for myself sometimes just because it's so delicious! It's so easy to make. Here's a quick recipe:
Soak 1 cup of almonds overnight.
Drain them and place the almonds into a blender.
Add 3 cups of filtered or spring water.
Blend at a high speed for about 2 minutes.
Then, pour the contents of the blender through a nutmilk bag placed over a large bowl.
Sqeeze the bag very gently and slowly until all of the liquid is in the bowl and you are left with only almond pulp in the bag.
If you want to make it sweeter, put the milk back into the blender and add 2 or 3 dates. Blend again.
Then, pour into a glass mason jar and store in the refrigerator.
Using these proportions should yield one mason jar full of almond milk.
Enjoy!
I also dehydrate the almond pulp and save it to use as almond flour for later.
