Almonds are soaked and ground to make almond milk, a plant-based beverage that can be used as a nondairy milk substitute.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
Special equipment[edit | edit source]
Procedure[edit | edit source]
- Soak the almonds in the water overnight. They should swell and become supple.
- Grind the soaked almonds and water in a blender. Blend in a pinch of salt and a few dates if desired.
- Strain the almond mixture through a fine filter to remove the almond solids. Folded cheesecloth or a nut milk bag work well.
- Use the almond milk immediately or chill.
Notes, tips, and variations[edit | edit source]
- Almond meal, which is made from the leftover chaff, can be used in smoothies and other recipes that call for almonds or almond flour.
