Almond Milk
excerpted from the book
Almond milk is one of the most popular nut milks and the reason I began the More than a Nut Milk Bag project. Almonds are called the Queen of Nuts (although the almond is a seed, not a nut. Those Royals!) because they are high in protein, fiber, calcium, magnesium, and potassium and are said to reduce cholesterol levels, prevent osteoporosis, and regulate blood pressure. Extremely alkalizing to the body, almonds are worthy additions to your daily food as medicine regime.
Yields about 2½ cups NMB BL
Ingredients:
- 1 cup almonds soaked 6-8 hours in cool water
- 3 cups water
Directions
Rinse and drain soaked almonds thoroughly. Place drained almonds in a high speed blender along with enough water to cover the nuts. Blend until smooth, about one minute, then add remaining water and blend briefly. Strain blended mixture through More than a Nut Milk Bag and catch resulting milk in a bowl or pitcher.
