Almond Milk I
Almonds are soaked and ground to make almond milk, a plant-based beverage that can be used as a nondairy milk substitute.
Ingredients
- almonds, (100 g)1 cup
- water, (1 l)4 cup
- dates, optional
- salt, optional
Quantities are auto-calculated from the original recipe as a guide. Items without numbers (e.g. “to taste”) are not changed.
Method 4 steps
Soak the almonds in the water overnight. They should swell and become supple.
Grind the soaked almonds and water in a blender. Blend in a pinch of salt and a few dates if desired.
Strain the almond mixture through a fine filter to remove the almond solids. Folded cheesecloth or a nut milk bag work well.
Use the almond milk immediately or chill.
