Homemade vegetable almond milk
A healthy vegetable drink, full of vitamins and nutrients, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 100 g Almonds
- 1 l Water
- 1 pinch of salt optional
- Sweetener of your choice optional
Instructions
- We start the day before leaving the almonds to soak. At least, we will leave them one night. And, at the most, 48 hours.We continue draining the almonds. We are also going to rinse them a couple of times under the tap.
- If you want a whiter milk, you can peel the almonds. Later on we will see some tricks to make it more convenient. But this is completely optional, so you can skip this step.
- Put them in a blender, together with the water and a pinch of salt, and blend well. To obtain a milk with a smooth texture, we are going to strain it very well. For it we can use a cloth filter or a bag for vegetable milks.
- Finally, if you want, you can slightly sweeten the almond milk with the sweetener of your choice. Although this is also optional, since almonds already have a very sweet flavor.Now you have your healthy almond milk ready.
Notes
Note 1: Do not throw away the resulting pulp after straining the almonds. There are a lot of vitamins and minerals in it. Besides, it would be a great waste. Use it to make cakes, cake bases, cookies... Anything you can think of.
Note 2: although the most recommended proportion is 1 liter of milk per 100 grams of almonds, you can vary this proportion according to your taste. That is to say, if you prefer it thicker, with more body, reduce the amount of water to 750 ml or 500 ml.
