Soaking almonds

- Cover pan or bowl with lid and blanch almonds for 30 to 45 minutes.
- After 30 to 45 minutes, drain the water.
Making almond milk
- Peel the almonds one by one. You could opt to keep the peels on the almonds, if you are going to strain the almond milk.
- Blend the peeled almonds to a fine and smooth consistency with 4 cups of water in a blender.
- Strain once or twice using a nut milk bag, a fine strainer or cheesecloth or muslin.For a slightly thicker milk you can add 2.5 to 3 cups of water while blending.
- Collect the almond milk in a bottle or jar. Keep it covered in the refrigerator.
- It keeps well for 3 to 4 days in the fridge.
- The leftover almond meal can be used in cakes, cookies or making breads.
Notes
- The almonds can be soaked overnight or for 7 to 8 hours also.
- The Almond Milk can be strained in one go or twice or thrice. For thick milk, first blend the almonds with 1 or 2 cups of water and strain. Collect the leftover meal in the blender. Add 2 cups water and blend again. Strain and this will be the thin milk.
- Use a high speed blender to get a smooth and fine consistency in the milk.
- This Almond Milk stays best for 3 to 4 days in a refrigerator. So, make as per your need.
- Preferably try to use organic almonds.
- The approximate nutritional info is for 1 cup of Almond Milk made from the recipe.
