Recipes

Homemade Almond Milk

• 4 tablespoons of almond butter

• One pitted date

• 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla

• 4 cups of filtered water

• fine metal mesh sieve

• container to store the milk

Put all ingredients into a blender and blend on med/high for a minute or two. Pour it through a fine sieve into a container and store it in the refrigerator.

Makes 1 Litre of Almond Milk

Due to separation, shake the milk before each use and use within 3-4 days.

One 765 g jar of Almond Butter will make about 9 litres of Almond Milk! That's a HUGE savings and there are no nasty gums and other additives.

Homemade Coconut Milk

• 1 1/2 to 2 cups of unsweetened, shredded coconut

• 4 cups of filtered water

• fine metal mesh sieve

• cheesecloth or a nut milk bag

• large bowl for wringing

• container to store the milk

Heat the water in a saucepan until it's hot but not boiling. Put the shredded coconut into the blender and add the hot water. If you have a small blender, this might have to be done in batches. Blend on high for a few minutes or until thick and creamy. Pour through a fine sieve into a clean container.  Place the coconut meat from the sieve into the cheesecloth and wring as much liquid as possible from the coconut. If your blender is small, put the coconut meat back into the blender and use the second amount of water. Blend on high for a few more minutes. Repeat the wringing process and store the coconut milk in the refrigerator.

Due to separation, shake the milk before each use and use within 3-4 days.
