Almond milk
INGREDIENTS:
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 3/4 cup raw almonds, natural or shelled (approx. 100 g)
- 3 cups of water (750 ml – 1 l)
- 2 dates, seedless, or any other fruit that gives us a sweet touch.
ELABORATION:
-
Soak the almonds in a little water for at least 4 hours to activate them. You can put them on the night before and prepare the milk for breakfast.
-
Add the clean almonds and the rest of the ingredients to the mixer and beat until a homogeneous and smooth paste is formed. Add more or less water as you want it more or less thick, from 750 ml to 1 litre
-
Strain the mixture through a dried fruit cheesecloth, cheese cloth, napkin or strainer. We can also consume it without straining, enjoying all the taste of almonds
-
Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container. It will keep for 3-5 days.
NOTES:
- Shake it a little before serving to make it homogeneous.
- Customize it with the desired ingredients: vanilla, cocoa powder or ground cinnamon.
- Enjoy it hot or cold or use it to make recipes like vegan hot chocolate, flambés, vegan crepes, custards or adding to any recipe in which you would put milk.
