Equipment
- nutmilk bag or muslin cloth
Ingredients
- 1 cup almonds
- 4 cups fresh water
- 1 tsp maple syrup (sweeten to taste - optional)
Instructions
- Soak the almonds in water overnight
- The following day, drain, rinse thoroughly and discard water used for soaking
- Blend the rinsed almonds with fresh water for 1-2 mins
- Strain the mixture through a nutmilk bag or muslin cloth, squeezing to extract all the liquid
- Stir in sweetener or any spices if desired
- Pour into an airtight jar and store in the fridge
Notes
- Drink almond milk alone or add it to smoothies, porridge or tea
- The leftover almond meal can be incorporated into a bowl of porridge or energy balls, meaning there is no waste
- Both milk and meal can be stored in the fridge for about 3 days
- Get creative with what you add for a little flavour - try saffron, cardamom, cinnamon and more!
- Or keep it plain and simple!
- Homemade almond milk can 'separate' in the fridge, so shake before serving
