This is a great alternative to other milk – it’s easy to digest and full of nutrients!
Use organic ingredients where possible
1 cup pesticide free almonds
3-4 cups of spring water (plus extra for soaking)
4 dates, honey, vanilla, cinnamon (optional)
Place almonds in a bowl and cover with water. Leave to soak over night.
Drain almonds and discard water.
Place almonds in blender with 3-4 cups of spring water.
Add softened dates, or a little honey/vanilla/cinnamon if desired.
Blend on medium-high speed for a minute or two.
Place strainer over bowl and pour milk into bowl. Use a spoon to press out moisture from pulp. You can alternatively use a nut milk bag to strain the milk – these can be purchased from health food shops or online.
Pour milk into airtight glass bottle and store in fridge. The milk will last for a few days.
The pulp can be used in baking, or dry out on a baking sheet in a low oven and use for crumble toppings or to make granola!
