My mother-in-law, who eats nearly a 100% raw diet, showed me how to make almond milk when they were visiting us in Maine. It turns out to be quite a simple process. I make it once or twice a week now. It's so much richer and creamier than the stuff you buy at the store, and of course, still has all it's good enzymes because it's raw. And somehow, things you make yourself just taste that much more delicious!
Here's how it goes:
Soak 1 cup almonds for 8hrs or overnight.
Rinse well.
Add 4 cups water, 1/4tsp salt, 1/2tsp vanilla and a spoonful of honey.
Blend really well.
Strain through nut milk bag (you can make one out of organza).
Squeeze out the last drops (you can use the leftover almond pulp in bread).
Yum!
