Cooking Time: Prep time 10 minutes plus eight hours soaking

Number of Serves: Makes 2 litres

Instructions:

With an increasing number of people becoming lactose intolerant or deciding to go dairy free – milk alternatives are on rise. Making your own almond milk is a breeze to make, it tastes better than store bought and is a lot cheaper!

Essentially all you need are almonds, a blender and any sweeteners or flavourings of your choice. Here I have used vanilla and dates to give a sweet vanilla taste with notes of caramel from the dates.

Once you have squeezed the milk from the mixture you are left with almond pulp – this can be put in porridge, smoothies, baking, or you can dehydrate it to make almond meal.

You can substitute the almond milk for any recipe that calls for cow’s milk – but it’s so delicious don’t be surprised if you end up just drinking it by the glass straight from the fridge.

Ingredients:

1 cup of raw almonds (ALM1)

4 cups / 1 litre of water

1 teaspoon of vanilla essence (ESSVANP500)

2 whole fresh dates (DATEUP)

1 pinch of sea salt (SALTCF)

Step by Step:

Rinse almonds and soak overnight (or about 8 hours) in a couple of litres of water.

The next morning drain the almonds. Place in a high powered blender with the rest of the ingredients and blend for 1 minute.

Strain using a cheesecloth or a clean tea towel. Gently squeeze the bottom of the cloth to release the milk. This process can take a few minutes so be patient!

Using a funnel, pour into a large glass jar or milk bottle and secure the lid.

Store in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days. Shake the jar very well before drinking as the mixture separates when sitting.
