Made my first batch of almond milk today and have to say it’s pretty darned good!
Almond Milk:
- 2 cups of soaked almonds (soak 8-12 hours)
- 8 cups of water
Blend almonds with half the water until smooth. Pour through fine mesh strainer. Blend almond meal with remaining water and strain again. Reserve almond meal for cookies, creamy sauces or other recipes.
Recipe is from Kristan Andrews:
I must try this.
