Almond Milk


Some people find cows milk difficult to digest. If that's the case for you, you may find goats milk easier. Nut milks are another option. I don't replace dairy with nut milk, but use it as well and as a change. You can use it wherever you would usually use milk.

This recipe is for almond milk, but you can use any nut or seed you like!

Almond milk

Soak 1 cup of almonds in water for at least 8 hours or overnight

Drain and rinse the almonds

Place almonds and 3 cups of fresh water in a blender and process until smooth.

Line a jug with a nut-milk bag or muslin cloth and pour the liquid into the jug.

Pull the muslin or nut-milk bag out and squeeze all the liquid into your jug. You can keep the pulp to use for other recipes.

Pour the almond milk into a bottle and store in the fridge. It will keep for a few days.
