So I’ve been playing around with making almond “mylk” and I’m really enjoying it. I’ve adapted this recipe just slightly by adding a medjool date and a dash of sea salt and sometimes a 1 tsp of vanilla. I encourage you to play with the flavor to make it yours. But you HAVE to buy these BAGS to drain the almonds, they are amazing. It made a huge difference using this product vs. other bags I’ve tried to drain the fiber from the mylk. Plus, I super appreciate the name of their product – love a good sense of humor! As you will see on my quick video on the process of extracting the “mylk”
Ingredients
Almond Mylk Prep
- 1 cup Raw Almonds
- 2 1/2 cup Filtered Water
Blended Almond Mylk
- 1 cup Soaked Raw Almonds
- 2 cups Filtered Water
- 1 tbsp MedJool Date 1 date, add more if you like it sweeter
- 1 tsp Vanilla optional
- 1 dash Sea Salt
Servings: 1/2 cups
Instructions
- First, soak 1 cup of raw almonds in about 2 1/2 cups of filtered water. Let it soak at least 2 days in the fridge but I've let it soak as long as 4 days. The longer they soak, the creamier the almond mylk.
- Discard the soaking water and rinse the almonds really well. Next add them to the blender or food processor with 2 1/2 cups of fresh filtered water, date(s), vanilla (if you want) and salt. Blend for at least 2 mins on high and then run through the nut bag. It's messy, see my video! But you will end up with really yummy simple almond mylk that lasts about a week.
