Organic Almond Milk
1 cup organic raw almonds
5 cups water
salt and sweetener if desired (optional)
Blanche almonds in boiling water for about three minutes. Drain and spread on a flat surface to cool. Once cool you can pop them right out of their skins. Once peeled place almonds in a blender with 5 cups water. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. Strain the mixture through a double layered piece of cheesecloth. Pour almond milk into bottle or pitcher and refrigerate. You can add salt or sweetener to taste if desired or just use as is. You now have fresh, delicious almond milk.
