No Dairy Almond Milk Recipe

This is for people allergic to dairy milk and want an alternate to Soya Milk once in a while Some people like to use Kewra, or rose essence for added flavoring. I use Almond extract.

Ingredients

1. Whole shelled Almonds: 1 Cup

2. Water: 3 cups

3. Sugar: 2 Tablespoons

You may substitute sugar with Honey, or even Maple syrup.

4. Almond Extract: ½ teaspoon

You may substitute Almond extract with either 1 teaspoon of Rose Water, Or ½ teaspoon of Kewra essence

Method

1. Soak almonds in plenty of water over night. In the morning, peel off the skin.

2. In an electric blender or Food Processor, put the almonds and about one cup of water. Grind it to a smooth fine paste.

3. In a heavy pan, put the almond paste, remaining water, and sugar. Bring to a boil. Turn town heat to slow simmer, and cook for about 20 minutes. The milk will thicken because of almonds and the reduction in milk through evaporation. The reduced milk gives it a creamy texture.

4. Stir in Almond extract. Serve warm or cold.
