Number of Servings: 2

Ingredients

    2-1/2 cups water
    1-1/2 cups soaked almonds
    3 pitted medjool dates, soaked
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Tips

For almond cream: add only 1/2 cup of water at the end of the blending process (rather than 1 cup).


Directions

Soak the almonds for 8 hours in water at room temperature. Place 1-1/2 cups of the water and the almonds, dates and optional 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 mil as possible. Alternatively, us a sprout bag to strain the milk.

Discard the pulp left in the strainer. Transfer the mil to a sealed container and store in the refrigerator. Almond milk will keep for five days. I twill separate, so shake well before using.
