I recently visited a friend of mine who works in Artichoke, a truly incredible fruit and veg shop in Hampstead where he gave me a sample of their almond milk, to tell you the truth I was blown away! Creamy sweet and yet light and refreshing, so I came home and set about trying to recreate it …..since then I make sure I always have some in my fridge. Only three ingredients but definitely more than the sum of their parts.

Ingredients:

I cup of Whole Almonds

3 cups of filtered water (for soaking)

2 and a half cups of pure unsweetened coconut water

Method:

Soak the almonds in the filtered water for 8-10 hours

Drain, rinse then blend with the coconut water in a high powered blender until as smooth as possible.

Strain through a nut milk bag or fine sieve and enjoy, keeps well in the fridge in a glass bottle or jar for about 3-4 days, however it is just so yummy I reckon it wont last that long!

Keep the almond pulp in a bag  in the freezer to add to your cookie, cracker or cake recipes x
