Ingredients
Makes approx. 375ml
- ½ cup (80g) raw almonds
- 2 cups (500ml) filtered water, for soaking
- 1½ cups (375ml) filtered water, for the milk
Optional:
Either a pinch of sea salt or 1 tablespoon of the sweetener of your choice.
Method
To make the dressing:
- Soaking is optional, however it is thought that soaking may make nuts more easily digested. If you chose to soak, place almonds in a bowl with 2 cups of filtered water. Cover in the fridge overnight to soak (minimum 8 hours). Drain and rinse well.
- Place almonds and 375ml filtered water into tumbler and secure blades. Lock into motor base and blend for 60 seconds.
- Pour into a nut milk bag over a bowl (or fine strainer lined with a double layer of muslin), and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Discard the remaining fibre.
- Stir salt or sweetener into the milk.
- Transfer to an airtight container and place in the fridge to chill thoroughly before serving. Store in the fridge and use within 3 days. Shake or stir before serving.
Alternatives:
For vanilla nut milk, stir in ¼ teaspoon vanilla bean paste, or a dash of vanilla extract to the milk after straining. For alternative nut milks, substitute almonds for cashews, pistachios, macadamias, or hazelnuts.
