As we approach Lent our need for vegan recipes grows. So I thought of making homemade almond milk which you will definitely love.
Homemade almond milk is perfect and you can add it to cereals, smoothies, your coffee or even to cakes, pancakes or crepes. If you ask me, homemade almond milk tastes much better than the commercial one. I think you will agree as soon as you try it, homemade is definitely better.
CAN I ADD ANY SWEETER?
If you want you can make homemade almond milk sweet by adding dates to it. Two soaked dates in the water are enough. Just add them to the blender – after removing the seed – together with the almonds and mash them.
HOW CAN I MAKE CHOCOLATE ALMOND MILK?
In case you want to give to the almond milk a more chocolate flavor then 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder are enough. Just add them to the blender along with the almonds.
HOW LONG DOES ALMOND MILK LAST?
While kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator, homemade almond milk is fresh for 3-4 days.
WHAT CAN I DO WITH ALMOND FEATHER?
After draining the almonds, do not throw away the almond pulp. You can dry it in the oven, at a very low temperature so that it does not burn and add it to various recipes. For example, I put it in homemade granola. If you want you can grind it even more and turn it into almond flour.
