Almond Milk
Almond milk can be made raw by simply soaking almonds overnight in a little water which increases their digestibility.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup raw almonds
3 cups water
2 tablespoons maple syrup or 2 pitted dates
pinch sea salt
Method:
1. Place almonds into a small bowl and cover with purified water. Soak at room temperature for about 6 hours or overnight
2. After the almonds have soaked, rinse them well under warm running water. Place them in a blender with the water, maple syrup or dates, and sea salt. Blend on high for 2 to 3 minutes or until you have a very smooth milk
3. If you would like it even smoother you can pour the milk through some cheesecloth into a container and squeeze out any remaining liquid.
