I never realized it was this easy to make almond milk (or any kind of nut milk). Although I've never really been interested in it before (the only non-dairy milk I've ever gotten into was soymilk), my plan to embark on this "detox cleanse" made it inevitable that I consider it. I've been reading "Clean" by Alejandro Junger lately, and I saw his recipe for a basic nut milk. Out of the blue, today, I decided to try it out. Total preparation time was less than 10 minutes (excluding the 3 hour soaking) and I got really really excited about it. Once again, endless possibilities! This made me look forward to detoxing more :)
The recipe:
Basic Nut Milk
1 cup of nuts, soaked for 3 hours in purified water (I used leftover slivered almonds)
1 teaspoon vanilla powder or extract ( I ran out, so I used equal amount of maple syrup)
1 to 2 teaspoons agave syrup or brown rice syrup
3 cups purified water
Drain nuts, discarding water. Place in blender with vanilla powder/extract, sweeter and 3 cups purified water. Blend for about 3 minutes. Strain through fine strainer or cheesecloth. Store in refrigerator, Lasts for 2 days.
