Sweet Almond Milk


Ingredients
I cup of almonds
2 cups of water (double the ratio if you want to make more)
1 whole vanilla bean or a dash of vinilla extract
1 tsp of honey or agave nectar
Cheese cloth


Directions
1. Soak the almonds in water overnight
2. Drain the almonds and rinse well to get rid of phytic acid
3. Add water, almonds, vanilla bean and honey into a blender. Blend till well combined. Taste and add sweetener or water depending on what you like.
4. Spread the cheese cloth over a large bowl and secure with an elastic band. Strain the mixture through. Once you have poured all the mixture in, take the cheese cloth and squeeze with your hands making sure to get every last drop.
5. Drink almond milk straight or add to your favourite smoothie.You can then use that extra pulp for nut butter or sprinkle on your porridge.
