I am sure you could leave the honey out of these recipes if you want.
Almond Milk
This brief lens will show you how to make yourself a cool, refreshing (or hot, if you prefer!) glass of great tasting, dairy free almond milk.
Got almonds? Got a blender? Got a strainer of some sort? Great! You can be in business very quickly. I'll show you how. Almond Milk in 5 Minutes or Less -- The Recipe
Ok, I suppose it's a little presumptuous to call this a recipe... it's more like very simple instructions. There are no exact amounts. Make it to taste, experiment a little and have fun!
Dump a handful of whole, raw, preferably organic ALMONDS into the blender. (If you're a proponent of raw foods, you may wish to soak the almonds overnight in filtered water to 'sprout' them, but it's not absolutely necessary.)
Add a pinch of SEA SALT.
Add a touch of HONEY or AGAVE NECTAR, or your choice of light sweetener.
Add about 2 cups of WATER.
Possible extras: CINNAMON, CAROB, RAW CACAO, VANILLA BEAN
COVER and BLEND for 1-2 minutes.
STRAIN (fine mesh sieve, cheesecloth, nut milk bag) or don't strain if you like it chunky!
"A sweet and delicious fresh milk with the elegant essence of vanilla"
1 cup soaked raw almonds (soaked 4-8 hours) 4 cups filtered water Pinch of sun-dried sea salt 1 T non-alcohol vanilla extract 1/2 vanilla bean (optional) 3 T raw honey or maple syrup (or 3 soft dates, pitted)
In a blender, at medium, then high speed, blend soaked almonds, water, and sea salt until smooth. Pour through a strainer (or use a nut bag) to separate pulp. Pour liquid back in the the blender and blend in vanilla extract and bean (if using) and sweetener until smooth.
