Wow!!! Now I feel like I'm getting there! I'm not afraid of my
Vitamix anymore and I whip things up like nothing these days!
My friend JM warned me: "Once you make your first batch of fresh almond milk,
you'll never go back to store bought"....
Almond Milk
1 cup Raw Almonds
3 cups Filtered Water
Nut Milk Bag
(you can also use a fine mesh sieve or cheese cloth)
First you will need to soak the Almonds in water for a minimum of 8 hours or overnight
Once hydrated they look nice and plump!
Add youringredients to your blender and blend on high speed for 2 minutes
Once it is blended to the desired consistancy, pass through a fine mesh sieve (or in my case I only had cheese cloth on hand)
And that's IT!! At this point you can add any other ingredients you like. Consider Pure Vanilla Extract (1/2 tsp), Honey (1 tbsp), Dates (2-3), Raw Cacao powder (1 tbsp) the options are endless!
Well, I am a BELIEVER!!! This is the creamiest, freshest, most flavorful milk I have ever tasted!! I'm not just tootig my own horn people, this is good stuff!
