Almond Milk
A raw recipe from the founder’s Detox Companion booklet, made to go with the twenty-day Full Body Detox program.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups of water
- 1 1/2 cups soaked almonds
- 3 pitted medjool dates, soaked
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (alcohol free)
Directions
- Place 1 1/2 cups of the water and the almonds, dates, and vanilla in a blender. Blend on high speed until very smooth. Add the remaining 1 cup of water and blend until smooth.
- Place a fine-mesh strainer over a medium bowl and pour the almond mixture through it. Using a rubber spatula, stir and press the pulp that is caught in the strainer to extract as much milk as possible. Alternatively, use a sprout bag to strain the milk.
- Discard the pulp left in the strainer. Transfer the milk to a sealed container and store in the refrigerator. Almond Milk will keep for 5 days.
