Ingredients
½cupraw almonds
2cupswater + extra for soaking
½tsp.pure vanilla extract (optional)
clean sweetener to taste such as dates, honey or pure liquid stevia
Soak the almonds overnight. I started in the evening, and then changed the water before I went to bed. But that's not necessary.
Pour off the soaking water in the morning and put the almonds with the 2 cups of water and any other optional ingredients into your high powered blender.
Blend for about 1 minute, or until the almonds are well liquified.
Strain the milk into a bowl through a nut bag and wring the bag out by twisting to remove all the milk.
Store the almond milk in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Note that this will not keep longer than a few days like the store bought stuff. No preservatives!
TO TOAST ALMOND MEAL:
Simply spread out over a parchment lined cookie sheet and bake at 325 for about 15-20 minutes or until it has a nice, golden glow. Great for adding to your morning cereal or muesli!
