Almond Milk
Ingredients
§  1½ cups of raw almonds

§  1 tablespoon of maple syrup


§  ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract


§  Sea Salt

§  Ground cinnamon to taste


§  freshly ground nutmeg to taste



Method:

   1. Put the almonds in a big bowl and add a substantial amount of water to cover them by at least 2 inches.  The next step is to soak the almonds at room temperature for at least 8 to 12 hours. The almonds will look swollen after soaking.

   2. Boil some water in a kettle. Drain the almonds and transfer the contents to a blender. Pour 1 cup of room-temperature water to the almonds and blend for 1 to 2 minutes. The blended mixture should have a consistency of a thick paste. Put the paste in a medium bowl and again add 2 cups of boiling water. Let the mixture steep for about 10 minutes.

   3. Work in batches and ladle the almond mixture through a medium-to fine mesh metal strainer, and set it over a large bowl. Press down the ground almonds with the back of a spoon to squeeze as much liquid as possible. You can put the ground almonds to other uses.

  4. Finally, add the maple syrup and vanilla, and also a pinch each of salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the almond milk. Whisk it briskly to combine thoroughly. Taste it and alter the seasoning, according to your taste.  You can serve at room temperature or chilled. Homemade almond milk can be stored in an airtight container and in a refrigerator for future use.
