Almond Milk

Home-made almond milk is so easy to make. Make sure you have a good blender (I use the Mod Appliances Blend Pro) a straining cloth and a large jug to hold the milk.

Ingredients

• 1 cup of raw almonds

• 4 cups of filtered water

• 1 date, pitted.

• pinch of salt

Method

• In preparation, soak your almonds overnight in 2 cups of filtered water.

• Dispose of liquid and rinse almonds.

• Place almonds in a blender with 4 cups of filtered water, date and salt.

• Blend on high until smooth and creamy

• Place your straining cloth over a sieve that is sitting in a large bowl. Pour blended milk through the straining cloth and squeeze out any excess liquid.

• The milk should now she sitting in the large bowl. Pour into your jug and keep refrigerated.

If you want to create vanilla rose almond milk (pictured) - when adding almonds and filtered water into the blender, swap your date for a teaspoon of vanilla essence and add 1 tsp of beetroot juice.

Place your straining cloth over a sieve that is sitting in a large bowl. Pour blended milk through the straining cloth and squeeze out excess liquid.
