~ making almond milk

[Guest guest]

A 1/4 cup of almonds isn't too bad.

For some reason I was thinking it would take more

than that to get a decent cup of almond milk.

I will have to try it one weekend.

Could you post more specific instructions for me?

Like how much water, how long to soak, etc.

Thanks a bunch.

Ok here is a repost:

 

......At home I have started to make my own dairy-free milks and the

recipe is still being refined:

 

Almond Milk

 

1/4 cup blanched almonds, soaked in water overnight or for 8-12 hours

1 pint (or maybe more like 3 cups) of water

2 or 3 dates (or more to taste) or several drops of date syrup

 

Blend well and strain through a fine mesh strainer. Store in the

fridge.

That was so sweet of you to repost it.
