February's Raw Recipe-Almond Milk

Sweet almond milk (the classic)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup almonds
• 3 cups water
• 1 Medjool date OR 1 Tbsp agave nectar

Directions:

1. Place almonds and water in a blender and blend on high speed until nuts are completely broken and almond milk is created.
2. Strain the almond milk through a fine sieve or nut milk bag into a bowl or jug. Save pulp for a dessert recipe, for dehydrating into almond flour, or compost.
3. Rinse blender and add back in the strained nut milk.
4. Add sweetener and blend.
5. Taste test for sweetness and add more if required.
   Serve and savour!

* TOP TIP: You can add 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence or half a vanilla bean to this recipe to create a vanilla milk. Additionally you can add a fingernail sized scraping of coconut butter to this for a creamier richer flavour.
