ALMOND MILK

Store-bought Almond Milk is full of unnecessary fillers that are only there to help the shelf life, make it unnaturally sweet, and give it a gummy texture. This easy DIY recipe brings fresh Almond Milk into your life with a handful of simple organic ingredients. The only tools you'll need are a blender, a cheesecloth, and a bowl. There's a lot of controversy surrounding almond growing and its impact on the environment. We purchase our almonds from https://www.heronfoxfarm.com. They grow them organically, without pesticides, and in ways that minimize water consumption. Their almonds are also unpasteurized, making them truly raw. Here's the recipe. - Soak almonds overnight. - Drain the soak water. - Put 1 cup of soaked almonds into a blender. - Add 4 to 4.5 cups of pure spring water or filtered water. - Add 1 pitted date. - Add 1/4 tsp of organic vanilla extract. - Add a pinch of sea salt, pink salt, or red salt. - Blend thoroughly until liquid becomes milky white. - Line a bowl with a cheesecloth. - Pour contents of the blender into the cheesecloth. - "Milk" the cheesecloth into the bowl. Store the Almond Milk in the fridge. It will last about 4 days (if you manage not to drink it all before then somehow). The blended almond pulp can be used as a flour to make gluten free recipes.
