Many visitors asked me how to make almond milk. This is a popular drink amongst raw foodists. It's healthy, nutritious, dairy free and a alternative for cow's milk. Almonds are high in Vitamin E, Copper, Manganese, Magnesium, and Phosphorus. Almond milk gives creaminess to smoothies.
Here is how to make Almond Milk
Ingredients
2 cups (spring) water
1/2 cup raw almonds
Pinch of salt
Few drops or half stick vanilla (optional)
Few drops stevia to taste (optional)
Nut milk bag or cheese cloth
1/2 cup raw almonds
Pinch of salt
Few drops or half stick vanilla (optional)
Few drops stevia to taste (optional)
Nut milk bag or cheese cloth
Directions
- Let almonds soak overnight in water.(for better digestion).
- In the morning rinse and drain the almonds. Then put them in your blender or jar. Add 2 - 3 cups of clean (spring) water and a pinch of salt.
- Blend well.
- Poor the almond milk in the nut bag. It's easiest if you have a large bowl underneath to catch the filtered milk.
- Now holding the bag with one hand, squeeze the milk with your other hand (see the video of victoria above)
- Add the other (optional) ingredients and blend briefly if needed.
Tips
- If you dehydrate the almond pulp you can use it to make raw cakes and cookies.
- Drink the milk as is or use in smoothies, soups or other recipes. Many friends save it in the fridge for about 2 days (shake before drinking), although I prefer to drink it fresh.
- You can buy nut bags at most health stores and online. They're about 5 dollars each. You can also use nylons, cheese cloth or paint strainer.
- Going to the store to buy soy, rice, nut or cows milk takes a whole lot longer and is much more expensive than making fresh almond milk. A Vitamix (or any other blender) full with fresh almond milk costs you about 50 cents. You make the almond milk less than 10 minutes.
