Homemade Almond Milk and Almond Flour

Recipe:

Almond Milk
1 cup raw almonds
3 cups filtered water or equivalent
cheesecloth
blender
honey (can use vanilla, maple syrup, sugar or dates too)

(1) Soak almond for 2 nights. Change water every water whenever u remember, otherwise the soaked water will have rancid smell. 
(2) Remove water and rinse many times right before blend. 
(3) Blend in high mode for a minute or two until you can see its look creamy and all nuts break up.
(4) Pour your blended almonds over a cheesecloth and collect the almond milk.
(5) Add honey or drink raw, or keep in fridge for other usage eg. replacing milk for baking

*if you put lesser water, it will be very creamy thus can use as almond creamer for coffee or tea etc
*if you put more water, it will be almond milk. Can drink raw or serve with honey or keep in fridge for a week. So far i havent try keeping more than a week. 

Almond Flour
Pulp collected after collecting almond milk

(1) Spread the almond mixture on a cookie sheet and let it dry in oven. Temperature 180 for 2-3 hours.
(2) Let it cool down. After dry fully, further blend it into smoother texture which will looks like flour.

*you can keep the pulp in fridge and oven dry later if you have no time to do it immediately. 
*you can use almond flour to mix with your commercial flour for baking, it adds fragrant to your baking outcome.
