Hello Friends!
Guess what? It’s time to start making your own almond mylk. Don’t worry, it’s not complicated or time consuming.  On the contrary, once you have the right tools (a good blender and nut milk bag/cheese cloth) you are set to go!

Why should you consider making your own nut mylks?

Ditch the dairy

Cow’s milk has significant levels of female hormones, and usually contains antibiotics, pesticides, saturated fat, and cholesterol — substances that definitely do NOT do a body good! Do you know that up to 65% of human population has trouble digesting lactose (dairy products), in fact East Asian people 90% of the population is lactose intolerant, which can cause gas, abdominal cramps and gastrointestinal distress. Raw nut mylk is truly a great alternative to get your source of nutrients such as calcium, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Vitamin D and lots other minerals needed for our body.

Clean Ingredients 

This pure almond mylk is so much better than store-bought stuff! Most of the organic boxed almond nut-milks have only 2% almonds, with a long list of filler (non-food) ingredients. The beauty of making your own nut mylk is that you can say goodbye to all kinds of  additives, fillers, stabilizers, dairy, soy, carrageenan, xanthan gum and other (pardon my language) crap. What you will get instead is more real nuts, more good fats, more bio-available nutrients, and more true flavour.
Not only is almond milk delicious and healthy, it goes great in tea, coffee, smoothies and even cereal!

Pure Almond Mylk

This is an Alkalizing Protein Packed Dairy Free "milk"  Without Preservatives or Additives
Course: Drinks
Servings: 1 liter

Ingredients

For about one liter use:

  • 1.5 cup raw organic almonds- pre soak in cold filtered water for 8-12 hours
  • 6 cups of clean filtered water
  • pinch of Himalayan salt

Optional:

  • 2-4 dates
  • vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Drain the almonds and discard the soaking water. Once soaked and drained peel the almonds- basically all you need to do is press on the almonds with your fingers and the skin will come off easily.
  • Rinse the peeled almonds under cold water and place in a good blender. Add 6 cups of cold water you are comfortable drinking (spring or filtered) and a pinch of salt. Optional you can also add 2-4 dates depending on how sweet you like it, and vanilla extract.
  • Blend on high for about 60 sec.
  • Use a nut milk bag to place the blended almond mix in and squeeze all the liquid out to a bowl. I use 100% natural hemp milk bag by P&F HIGH QUALITY PRODUCTS 
  • Store in glass bottle in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
  • Shake or stir before using.

Notes

This recipe requires a prep time of 12-24 hours. We suggest that  you soak the  raw almonds overnight to remove enzyme inhibitors, to allow optimal digestion and creamy taste.
