32 ounces
- Serves:
- 4
ingredients
- 1 cup organic raw almonds
- 5 cups filtered water
directions
- In a small saucepan, blanche almonds for about 3 minutes. Drain and let cool on a wire rack or on a tea towel.
- When cool enough to handle pop the skins off the nuts, and throw them in the compost.
- Pour nut meats and 5 cups of filtered water into a blender and blend on high for about 3-5 minutes. If 5 cups of water seems too much for your blender to handle at once, start with 2 cups of water and then add the remaining 3 cups half way through blending.
- Strain the mixture with cheesecloth or a fine sieve over a large jar (or recycled glass juice container). Once should be fine but if you really don't want any almond granules left in there, twice should cover it.
- Et voilá! Fresh homemade almond milk. Refrigerate any milk you won't be drinking immediately for up to a week. For creamier milk, use less water. For lighter milk, use more water.

I'm an all around crafty girl and love doing it all myself. Whether it's crocheting myself a cozy cap, building a jewelry organizer, blogging, or cooking a fab meal for friends, I love creating. I don't have a favorite cook book, though I do have favorite TV Chefs, Giada de Laurentiis, Ina Garten, and Jamie Oliver... They all present food in delicious but accessible and simple manners. I appreciate that. In the kitchen I love having fresh herbs, fruits, and vegetables at hand at all times so I can cook whenever the mood strikes me, which is often. I used to bake a lot but now I don't as much which is a shame, maybe one day I'll get back into that.
