Have you ever made almond milk at home? In today’s publication, I would like to show you how you can make almond milk with your own hands. This is a great alternative for those who do not consume animal milk.
Again, there will be those who will say that it is easier to buy and why waste time and effort on it? And you can’t argue with that when it comes to making really complicated time-consuming recipes, but this is not about almond milk. So, to make almond milk, we need a minimum of equipment, namely a blender, gauze, a bowl, and a container to hold the finished milk!
And just one ingredient – raw almonds (not fried!). If you want, you can add dates, which I did this time, and a little vanilla extract, so the milk becomes a little sweet and fragrant.
INGREDIENTS
Raw almonds – 150g.
Water – 3 cups
Dates – 1 pc or more (optional)
Vanilla extract – 1 tsp.
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
- Soak almonds in water for about 4 to 8 hours or pour hot water for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Recall that the almonds must not be roasted! During this time, the almonds will absorb the water and become more juicy. Drain the excess liquid and rinse the almonds under running water.
2. Transfer to a blender, pour 3 cups of water, if desired, add 1 date (you can add more if you want sweet milk) and a little vanilla extract. Whisk for 1 minute on high speed.
3. Next, we will need gauze and a deep bowl where we will decant the milk. Strain the whipped almonds through the gauze and see the white almond milk dripping down your hands. Pour it into a dry and sterilized container and close tightly! The milk should be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
