Almond Milk

One of our cars is broken, so I couldn't run out to Wild Oats as planned to pick up some almond milk, so I decided to make my own.

1 cup roasted almonds (roast raw almonds in oven at 300-350 for half hour-ish)
4 cups filtered water

Soak almonds for a few hours, or overnight. Pour in blender and blend. Strain through cheesecloth. You will have to squeeze the cheesecloth in order to extract all of the milk from the almond pulp. Sweeten to taste with honey or maple syrup.



So then I tried to make pignoli cookies out of the leftover almond pulp. As I was not using any form of measurement, I failed miserably. I wish myself better luck next time.
