Hi! Is anyone still out there? Let's just check.
So, have you been wondering why grown adults continue to consume a liquid that's designed to fatten up baby cows? I kinda have. I've discovered I kinda like almond milk.
But how does one milk an almond? It has no...well, you know.
It's actually pretty easy...here's the how-to.
Get about a cup of almonds (raw and unsalted) and soak them in about 2 cups of water 24-48 hours.
Drain off the soaking liquid, then add the almonds and 2 1/2 cups of water to a blender, and blend the heck out of it.
After blending strain the liquid from the almond pulp using a cheesecloth, or they actually make a special nut-milk bag just for this purpose. Save the left over pulpy stuff and dry it out in a low oven (200F) for about an hour or so, and you have almond meal!
I hear this keeps in the fridge about 3 days, and it's not homogenized so you'll get some separation....just shake it up.
are you back or just teasing? Be back please.

ReplyDeletei try not to think about the source of my milk. :)
ReplyDeletei do like almond milk, but it has to be at least slightly sweetened!
