Almond Milk

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• 1 cup blanched, slivered or chopped almonds
  
• 4 cups water
  
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
  
• vegan maple syrup to taste
  

Directions:

Put almonnds and half of the water in the blender. Blend for a good three to five
minutes. With the blender still on, add the rest of the water a little at a time, then
the vanilla and syrup. Blend another 2 minutes. Line a collander with a cheese cloth
(you can get it at a cooking store, food co-op, or even a fabric store), and pour the milk
through it. Squeeze the excess out of the almond gook in the cloth.

The gook left in the cloth makes a great facial scrub, or you can knead vegan sugar, color , and
flavor into it and treat it like candy.

Serves: 2-4

Preparation time: 15 minute
