Easy Almond Milk

This is another super simple recipe:

Basically, you need almonds, water, a blender and a few hours. Yep. That's it.

I tried a new recipe this am which added a cinnamon stick, a date, and a pinch of salt to the overnight soak, and so I tried it out - a couple of ways. Results are as follows:

Combine the following in a quart jar:

1 c. Raw almonds (not roasted or dried)

Water - fill the remainder of the quart jar

1 medjool date

1 cinnamon stick

pinch kosher salt

Let soak overnight.

Drain off water, and place almonds in blender - they should be swollen.

Add 4 cups of water for every 1 cup of almonds to the blender.

Blend until very smooth - strain through a sieve, and chill. Water down if thinner consistency is desired.

I blended one batch without the date and cinnamon stick and another batch with the date and cinnamon stick. Personally, I found the one without, a little on the bitter side.And prefer the one with the date and cinnamon stick.

This is a great milk for morning smoothies!
