Almond Milk is one of the most enjoyable plant based diet drinks and for a smooth, chocolatey flavor, add a bit of maple syrup and about 2 tablespoons of cacao powder in the mix. You could even try a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg for a nicely spiced drink.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of raw almonds soaked in water to cover for several hours or overnight.
- 4 cups filtered water
- 2 small dates pitted and coarsely chopped
- 1 tsp vanilla extract non-alcoholic preferred
- 2 dashes sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Soak the almond overnight or up to 2 days.
Drain and rinse the almonds.
Add almonds, 4 cups water, salt, vanilla and dates to your high powered blender.
Cover securely and blend slowly at first. Then turn up the speed to high for about 30 seconds or until well blended up to 2 minutes.
Pour the blended mixture into a nut-bag or cheesecloth and massage with your hand to extract all of the liquid. Discard the left-over pulp or save for another use such as in baked items.
You don’t have to strain it if you don’t want to, but it will contain the pulp and be thicker.
Pour into your container and chill.
