Given that some readers of my blog may not be interested in my exaggeration and stories, I'll also post a recipe.
I'm thankful to Mel who shared this with me.
Soak 1cup of raw (not roasted/toasted/seasoned) almonds in 4cups of water overnight (or obviously just use a 1:4 ratio).
Add 1tsp of vanilla, 1 tsp agave and pinch of sea salt.
Blend.
Strain out the chunks, cheese cloth works well.
And that's it! You can also remove the skins after soaking and dry the remaining almond chunks by laying them out on a pan and putting them under broil in the oven, then grind to have almond flour. It takes a while to remove the skin, but is definitely cheaper than buying almond flour.
I just tried cashew butter and it's wonderful! only 1 hour of soaking.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of trying this one day too:
