I love almond milk. I can’t have dairy as it aggravates my acid reflux, LPR, histamine intolerance and gut issues. But, all these processed almond milks contain various additives, such as sugar, salt, gums, flavors, and lecithin and carrageenan. Certain ingredients like emulsifiers and gums are used for texture and consistency. While in small amounts, they may not be terrible, and for some people they are okay, for me ~ I don’t tolerate them well. And to be honest, why would I want any of that when I can have all natural, clean, fresh almond milk?
INGREDIENTS:
1.5 cups organic raw almonds
4 cups filtered water
nut milk bag
large bowl
large mason jar
Soak your almonds covered in filtered water over night in a sealed mason jar in the refrigerator (anywhere from 3-8 hours). Strain and then rinse the almonds. Put them in the blender and whiz for 30-45 seconds. Strain through your nutmilk bag and store in the fridge for about 5-6 days.
I usually end up making this about once per week to enjoy with my tea. I love how natural and clean it tastes! I have a hard time stomaching the processed stuff now that I know how delcious purity can taste.
It’s also really good in oatmeal, used for baking substitutes, and in really any other application where you would use regular or commercially made nut milk.
You can follow these same instructions to make macadamia, hempseed or oat milk!
