Homemade Vanilla Almond Milk

Sorry for not posted anyhing this couple days. Me and my family went to Surabaya for friend's wedding and I can pnly eat hotel's breakfast. 😂

but here is a #throwback month ago (?) when I made Homemade Vanilla Almond Milk! 🙌🏻

Homemade Vanilla Almond Milk

Ingredients

1 cup raw almonds, soaked in water

3.5 cups filtered water

2 pitted Medjool dates, to taste

1 whole vanilla bean, chopped

¼ tsp ground cinnamon

small pinch of fine grain sea salt, to enhance the flavour

Methods

1. Place almonds in a bowl and cover with water. It’s preferred to soak them overnight (for 8-12 hours) in the water, but you can get away with soaking for 1-2 hours in a pinch.

2. Rinse and drain the almonds and place into a blender along with all the ingredients. 

3. Blend on highest speed for 1 minute or so.

4. Place a nut milk bag over a large bowl and slowly pour the almond milk mixture into the bag. Gently squeeze the bottom of the bag to release the milk. This took me about 3-5 minutes to get all the milk out.

5. Pour into a glass jar to store in the fridge for up to 3-5 days. Shake jar very well before using as the mixture separates when sitting. Enjoy with Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies for a real treat. This milk is also lovely with cereal.

Notes: If your dates or vanilla bean are dry/stiff, soak in water to soften before use. You can also use another sweetener of your choice like maple syrup. Same goes for vanilla – feel free to use vanilla extract for a more subtle vanilla flavour.
