Almond
Milk
A
delicious and easy dairy-free milk substitute
by Alexandra Jamieson, CHHC
Here is a recipe from my book "The
Great American Detox Diet."
Almond milk is a wonderful substitute for kids and parents
alike who need to avoid dairy. Easy and naturally sweet,
almond milk will keep in an airtight glass container for
up to 3 days.
Almond Milk
2 cup unsalted slivered almonds
4 cups water
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2-4 tablespoons maple syrup to taste
1. Combine the almonds and half of the water in the blender.
2. Pulse for 20 seconds and then blend on a low setting for 2 minutes. With the
blender still running, add the rest of the water a little at a time, then the
vanilla and syrup.
3. Blend for one minute more. Line a colander with a cheese cloth and pour the
milk through it. Squeeze the excess out of the almond meat in the cloth.
