This recipe will help you prepare delicious almond milk, which you can use as a healthy alternative, especially for lactose-intolerant people and those with diabetes.
The night before or 4 hours before starting to prepare the milk, soak the blanched almonds in water; this will make it easier to blend them.
Now that your almonds have soaked, it’s time to start. Pour the almonds into the blender without the soaking water.
Add 3 cups of water and blend for 2 or 3 minutes. If necessary, stir occasionally with a spoon. You'll see how the consistency of puree is forming.
After this time and with the consistency of puree, add the honey, vanilla, salt, and a little ground cinnamon. Also add the remaining water and blend for another 2 or 3 minutes.
Taste and adjust the flavor if necessary, with a little more honey, vanilla, or cinnamon.
The only thing left is to strain the milk. You will need cheesecloth or a straining cloth (also known as muslin or mesh fabric).
Place a strainer over a large bowl, fold the cloth to make it thicker, and place it over the strainer. Pour the almond paste over the cloth.
Once you have finished serving all the almond paste, take the cloth and roll up the almond paste to squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
Make the most of the almond paste: dry the paste by dehydrating it in the oven at low temperature and create your own almond flour that you can use for baking.
