Almond Milk

Almond Milk or any Nut Milk
Makes 1-2 cups

1/4-1/2 cup almonds or nut of choice (unsalted, raw and preferrably organic)
1- 1 and 1/2 cup purified water
1-2 teaspoon pure maple syrup
1-2 pinches sea salt

Method:

1. Put the nuts in a blender/food processor, grind to a pulp, then cover with twice the amount of water.  Blend for about 30 seconds, adding half of the maple syrup and sea salt.
2. Pour nut milk through a strainer into a bowl and transfer to a large storage jar.  Place nuts back into blender and repeat blending with the remaining water, maple syrup and sea salt.  You may vary the amounts according to taste.
3. Strain out the liquid “nut milk”.  Refrigerate and serve.  The nut milk should last a few days in the fridge.
4. Left over nut pulp can be used in cooking/baking.
