Almond Milk

Almond milk has become one of my favourite substitutes of regular milk with my oat porridge or granola for breakfast, when baking and even in smoothies. It’s delicious, creamy and its taste is subtle enough to accompany so many drinks and dishes. I used to use store-bought almond milk but ever since I discovered how simple it is to make my own delicious batch without any artificial additives, I haven’t looked back.

 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw almonds (soaked overnight)

  • 4 cups filtered water

  • ¼ tsp cinnamon (optional)

  • 2-4 medjool dates (optional)

  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Directions

  • Soak almonds overnight in a bowl of water.
  • Rinse the soaked almonds and blend with the filtered water for about one minute (with cinnamon, dates or vanilla extract if you would like some extra flavour).
  • Strain the milk through a fine wire-mesh sieve or a nut milk bag.
    Store the milk in a refrigerator for up to one week.
