Homemade Cinnamon Almond Milk (No Added Sugar)
This is a great non dairy milk base recipe. Customize it how you like: added spices and flavours can give you a special and delicious result!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almonds preferably organic and as "raw" as possible, soaked overnight in the fridge
- 2 cups water
- pinch of sea salt you can omit this but I happen to consider it essential for bringing out the almonds' true flavour
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon or other flavourings as desired: cocoa, vanilla, strawberry, cardamom, blueberry, even pumpkin... the options are endless
Instructions
-
Strain and rinse the soaked almonds. Add them to a high-powered blender with the water. Blend on high until the almonds are thoroughly blended.
-
Using a fine strainer, a strainer lined with cheesecloth or a nut bag, strain your almond milk. Don't forget to reserve the leftover almond pulp for all kinds of other recipes**.
-
Mix in the sea salt and other flavourings if desired. Drink up!
Recipe Notes
This recipe makes a half-batch (2 cups), but you can easily double it.
Allergic to almonds or just don’t like them? Let’s get creative!
You can easily substitute the almonds in this recipe for any nut or seed of your choice. Sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, hazelnuts, pecans, sesame seeds, etc. are all delicious and nutritious.
