Making Almond Milk on board

OK its really easy and can be donw on board. You need...
  1. Blender or an immersion blender (I use a Cuisinart cordless/rechargeable hand blender on board the boat.)
  2. Strainer or coffee filters
  3. Almonds
  4. Water. 
That's it! Sweetener and real vanilla extract if you want but I like it just fine with out it.

Steps

Soak 1/2 cup of almonds in water over night. Rinse in the morning. 24 hours of soaking is max otherwise they get kind of funky.


Fill blender or cup with the soaked rinsed almonds and 4 cups of water.
Blend for 2 minutes. Don't skimp


Then strain the mixture into a clean container.  Squeeze out any excess water from the almonds. 


There you have almond milk. I let it set for a day or 2 before drinking. Tastes better. Lasts about a week!


Do not throw away the almonds. Make something with them scones or cookies or pesto. They are delish so please reuse.
