Ingredients

1. 1 cup almonds, soaked for 8 to 12 hours, drained and rinsed
2. 3 cups water
3. 5-6 pitted dates
4. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

1. Put the almonds, water, dates and vanilla in a high-performance blender and blend until smooth.
2. To separate the “milk” from the pulp, gently squeeze through a cloth mesh bag or a double layer of cheesecloth (Reserve pulp)
3. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Notes

1. Tip: Store leftover almond pulp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 days, or in the freezer for up to 4 months (defrost before using). The pulp may also be dehydrated to create flour, by spreading it on a paraflex sheet and dehydrating it at 105 degrees for 8 hours, then processing it in a food processor. Almond pulp may be used in breads, cookies, croutons, cinnamon rolls and scones.
