EASY ALMOND MILK (home made)

EASY ALMOND MILK: It's very easy to make your own at home... if you have a blender and good water.
Ingredients:
1/2 Cup raw blanched almonds (preferably raw and organic) to 4 times the water. Soak for 24 hours; then place in a blender. Pass through the mesh and there you have it: Almond milk.
Feel free to add vanilla to taste, I am quite pleased with it as is. The yield is about a quart. Feel free to adjust recipe to suit your needs. Below is a more formal recipe.
Check out the links photos.

It is my understanding that there are plenty of uses for the almond paste that the mesh collects when straining the liquid. I myself have yet to explore the many uses...

This is how my daughter makes her Almond Milk. you will need:

1 cup (230 gr) blanched Almond flour
pinch of sea salt
2 medjool dates, pits removed
1/2 vanilla bean or 1 teaspoon of vanilla
4-5 cups water (filtered is good)

Using Almond flour makes the recipe very quick and easy. You don't have to soak almonds in water for 12 hours before making the milk.




........................THIS NEXT RECIPE I FOUND WHEN I WAS SEARCHING FOR A PHOTO. I've added the link which has nice photos and very good oddities of recipes, and make the almond milk up with flavorings. I liked the blanched almonds that take out the bitterness. You learn something new every day. So, do check it out. The following is all paraphrased.

First thing, get to soaking those almonds. I like to use whole blanched almonds because they already have the papery, slightly bitter almond skins removed. If you don’t have blanched almonds you can either blanch them yourself, or use regular almonds. They work just fine, but you might have to strain your milk a little more carefully to get all the skins out. At any rate, the most important characteristic is that your almonds are raw, not toasted.

You can purchase almond milk but along with those almonds comes lots of sugar, preservatives, stabilizers, and other not-so-natural ingredients. Making homemade almond milk is actually really simple, and produces a deliciously creamy beverage with minimal effort. Nuts also great source of omega's, vegan friendly, and is a good handy recipe to have whenever milk is needed. Freeze and use your pulp for baking, cookies, etc.

How to Make Homemade Almond Milk In Less Than 3 Minutes!

Author: Shirley Braden photos

 

Ingredients

• 2 cups filtered water
• 2 tbsp plus 1½ tsp of your favorite almond butter (to taste; I like this one, but homemade is fine if that’s your preference)
• Sweetener of choice; honey, maple syrup, yacon syrup, pitted dates (I like Medjool dates), etc. (optional, to taste) Stevia
• Pinch of sea salt (if needed, your almond butter might already contain some sea salt)
• I added my own stevia, seven drop per cup.

Instructions

1. Add all ingredients to high-speed blender. I used my Vitamix, but any good blender will work fine. If you’re not adding a date, you might even be able to use a shaker jar.
2. Mix until blended, about a minute.
3. Use immediately or chill before serving. Keep refrigerated. (Contents may settle over time. Just shake your jar before using.)
