Almond Milk I

Almonds are soaked and ground to make almond milk, a plant-based beverage that can be used as a nondairy milk substitute.

Ingredients

• 1 cup (100 g) almonds
• 4 cups (1 l) water
• Dates (optional)
• Salt (optional)

Steps

1. Soak the almonds in the water overnight. They should swell and become supple.
2. Grind the soaked almonds and water in a blender. Blend in a pinch of salt and a few dates if desired.
3. Strain the almond mixture through a fine filter to remove the almond solids. Folded cheesecloth or a nut milk bag work well.
4. Use the almond milk immediately or chill.
