Almond Meal & Almond Milk

1 simple nut can create 2 wonderful foods. I use the almond meal in all of my breads and use the almond milk in my shakes, coffee and with cereal.

Ingredients: 

• 1 cup dry roasted almonds (or raw almonds)
• 2 cups water

Optional ingredients:  1/2 tsp. Almond or Vanilla Extract

Directions: 

1. Add almonds and water to blender 
2. Blend for 30 seconds to break up almonds 
3. Refrigerate the blender and contents for a minimum of 4 hours; overnight is better. 
4. After soaking period blend almond/water mixture for 60 seconds (or more) to chop almonds into a fine texture 
5. Pour almond/water mixture into a yogurt strainer, cheese cloth or other set-up to allow the liquid to drain off.   
6. If using a yogurt strainer press almond mixture to ensure as much liquid is removed as possible. 
7. If using cheese cloth squeeze out as much liquid as possible.     
8. Set aside almond pulp. 

Almond Milk

• Add up to 3 cups of water to thin out the milk.   I prefer a thicker milk so only add an additional cup of water.   
• If you prefer flavored milk, add favorite extract.   

Almond Meal 

• Use almond meal in any bread recipe or in your favorite smoothy.
