Home-made, non-dairy nut milk.
Dairy is such a cruel industry. Nut milks are a great alternative & easy to make too.
METHOD
- Soak a handful of almonds overnight.
- Drain the water.
- Blend with water 1:3.
- Strain through a strainer. Press with a spoon to squeeze out the liquid. You can also use a nut milk bag or muslin cloth for this.
Enjoy in your tea, coffee, smoothies, desserts.
Note
- Keep the residue. It can be baked in the oven and used with your breakfast muesli.
- If you wish to flavour it, can add a date or lil vanilla essence when blending.
- Can remove the skin & blend too.
- Some non-dairy & nut milks are heat sensitive so should not be overheated.
- If using in tea, just add it at room temp, stir and take off heat.
