Nicole Smith (Penolopy Bulnick) F ROM S CRATCH Almond Milk by ChrysN http://www.instructables.com/id/Almond-Milk/ H ere is a great alternative to cow, soy, and rice milk, which is tasty and really easy to make yourself. You can drink it straight or add it to smoothies, and its excellent on cereal! I NGREDIENTS 1 cup skinless (blanched)* almonds, whole or ground 3 cups water filtered + water to soak *If you can only find almonds with the skin still on, your milk will have little bits of almond skin floating around.

If this bothers you, you can blanch them. E QUIPMENT blender sieve or cheesecloth bowl pitcher with lid (to store milk when done) spatula measuring cup Step 1: Blanching If your almonds do not have the skin on them, you can skip this step. Pour boiling water over almonds to cover them. After about 1 minute, drain and rinse under cold water. Pat dry and slip the skin off. Step 2: Soaking Overnight Place 1 cup of almonds into a bowl and add water (use filtered water if you would like) so that it covers almonds.

Soak in fridge overnight if you can or for a minimum of 4 hours. Step 3: Blend The following day, drain water from the bowl of almonds. Place almonds in a blender, add 3 cups of water (again you can use filtered water here), and blend until smooth. This can take 1 to 2 minutes or so, depending on your blender. It is ready when it is more or less homogeneous and the almond particles are quite fine. Step 4: Strain and Serve Pour from blender into a sieve/cheesecloth over a container to collect the milk.

If you are using a sieve, take a spatula and squeeze the pulp to get as much liquid out as you can. (If you are using cheesecloth, give it a good squeeze, too.) Dont throw out the pulp as you can use it for baking. After it has been strained, you can drink it as is or you can flavor or sweeten it (see next step). Store in a closed container in the fridge. It will keep up to a week in fridge. Step 5: Options Put the milk back into the blender (rinse the blender first).

Blend until smooth, and store in a closed container in the fridge. It will keep up to a week in the fridge. Sweetening To sweeten you can add any of the following, adjust to taste, and blend again until smooth. 1 Tablespoon sugar, honey, or maple syrup 1 banana or 2 Tablespoons pitted dates Flavoring For flavor you can add vanilla extract, cocoa (or chocolate milk powder), or fruit pure. Thickening You can make this a thicker drink by reducing the amount of water you add when blending. Try 2 cups of water instead of 3.

Roasting You can try roasting your nuts as this brings out their flavor. Before you soak the nuts (step 2), place in the oven at 350F for about 5 minutes. Keep an eye on them: burned nuts are not so good. Allow to cool and proceed to step 2. Condensed Almond Milk by atepinkrose http://www.instructables.com/id/Condensed-Almond-Milk/ D airy-free milk is an option, for some even a necessity, but most of the time it is either more expensive or not readily available. DIY is one solution.
