My friend, Brandee LeBlanc, who has quite the knowledge about health & food gave me a great tip on how to make fresh almond milk! I couldn't believe how easy it is & how awesome it tastes compared to store bought. Not to mention the cost! The taste is a great almond-nutty flavor with a creamy almost velvety mouthfeel. I made a smoothy with it and it was divine!
I gave it a try & I definitely will be making my own from now on! You all should give it a try.
Raw Almond Milk
1 c raw almonds
water
3 c filtered water
Cover the almonds with water in a bowl overnight or at least 6 hours. Then, dump out the water. You will see that the almonds have swollen up. Place the almonds and 3 c filtered water into a blender. Blend really well until it is all pureed. Then strain into a fine sieve or use cheesecloth. Delish!
The left over almond mash is what is the base for almond paste. So start baking friends :)
