Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup whole raw almonds -- soaked in 3 cups water for 24

hours, drained and rinsed

3 cups purified or spring water (divided use)

2 honey dates -- pitted (2 to 4)

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract (optional)

 

Put almonds in a blender with 1 1/2 cups of water, dates, and vanilla and puree

until smooth and creamy. (Use as much or as little water as necessary to keep

the blender mixing.) Add remaining water and blend again.

 

To remove skins and pulp, press puree through a fine mesh strainer, sprout bag,

or cheesecloth-lined colander. Reserve the pulp for unbaked " cookies " , cakes, or

croquettes.

 

Store milk in refrigerator until ready to use.

NOTES : If you're going to use this as a substitute for milk or cream in a

vegetarian recipe, go ahead and experiment with the ratio of water to almonds.

You can make it as thin or as creamy as you like. If you want your vegetarian

recipe very creamy, try adding a banana and/or a teaspoon of nut butter to the

almond milk mixture.

 

(Note: by soaking the almonds overnight, you germinate them, which makes them

literally come " alive " with vitamins and enzymes.)
