Almond Milk

Just made my very own almond milk!  It's pretty good - a lot of work, though.  You have to soak the almonds for 8-12 hours, then put them in a food processor with 7 cups of water (which means you have to do it slowly when you have a 3-cup food processor like I do), then strain it through cheesecloth, then put the milk in the blender with dates and vanilla and agave nectar (I had to put it in the food processor again and accidentally overfilled it, which means that I had milk EVERYWHERE).

And the only reason I did it was so I could use the pulp in a recipe for vegan yogurt.  I am soaking a cup of cashews now (only 2 hours for cashews!) so I'm hoping to have yogurt for lunch tomorrow!

Namarie!
