Almond milk not only is delicious, it also contains nutrients that benefit our overall health. Try to make your own almond milk as an alternative to cow's milk.
Enjoy!!!
ALMOND MILK: (makes abt 600ml)
1/4cup blanched almond
1 cup filtered water
a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg
a little cold pressed honey (optional)
if you want to blanch your own almonds, put them in a sieve and dip them in a pan of boiling water for 30 seconds, the skins will then pop off very easily.
Place the blanched almonds and the water in a food processor and blend until the mixture becomes thick and smooth (a couple of minutes). Strain the liquid through a fine sieve or piece of cheesecloth to remove the pulp. If there is a great deal of pulp, you can repeat the process. Add the cinnamon or nutmeg and sweeten to taste with a little honey if necessary. This milk does tend to separate, so you will need to stir it before serving.
