Almond Milk Recipe

Servings: 4

Description

Milk may be one of the most difficult sacrifices to make as we work toward adjusting our diets for health, moral, or environmental reasons, but with this almond milk recipe, and a supply from Glenda’s Farmhouse, you might just find that the alternative tastes better than the real thing.

In addition to delicious taste, almond milk is chock full of calcium, protein, and Vitamin E. As you make it, you can customize the recipe to incorporate your preferred flavors, levels of sweetness, and even cooked vs. uncooked. Experiment with a few variations to find the recipe that best suits your tastes.

If you prefer to blanch the almonds in order to remove the skin, the process will take a couple of days. This step is only needed when making cooked almond milk, not raw.

    1. Combine the almonds and two cups of the water in a blender.
    2. Blend well.
    3. With a nut milk bag, cheesecloth, or other filter, strain the mix as you pour it over into a pot.

    5. Blend for a couple of minutes.
    6. Strain again.
    7. At this point, you can heat the milk and add whatever flavoring you choose.
    8. Strain the milk again.
    9. Store in an airtight container for up to five days.
