Hi guys long time no see it's been quite a long time since I've done a cooking tutorial today
We're not gonna
Be really cooking we're gonna be blending because I'm gonna show you how to make strawberry infused almond milk
And this is vegan vegetarian if you're somebody who does not want to consume dairy
This is one of the best options available to you is to make your own almond milk
It's pretty easy to do
There's a lot of different types of recipes for almond milk to give a different tastes get the different flavors give a different texture
But this is personally my my favorite way to make almond milk
This is the way that I was taught and it seems like a lot of recipe book to also follow the same technique
But again this is strawberry infused, so it's a little bit different than your typical just plain almond milk
And it is really really really really easy
And it's really really healthy for you now the cool thing about the almond milk that we're making today
Is that this is going to be used in my next recipe video on how to make a super powerful protein shake that is delicious
So that utilizes our almond milk that we're gonna be making today and trust me when I say it's easy it really is easy so
let's get
Blending and get our taste buds salivating so right off the bat
We're gonna be using two to three honey pitted dates. You can use more if you want it to be sweeter
we're gonna use some vanilla extract and
1 cup of raw almonds that we're gonna soak in cold water for about 4 to 6 hours
You can also boil them for about 1 hour to speed up the process now once the almonds are soaked
We're going to drain them, and then use filtered water
We're gonna be using 5 cups of filtered water this point it really depends
Do you want it thicker or do you want it thinner at this point the less filtered water you use will make it thicker the?
more filtered water you use will make it thinner so depending on how you want your almond milk if you want it really thin and
Crisp, or if you want it thicker more creamier use less water
We're gonna put in our dates 5 cups of filtered water Thank You Maura for chewing my teaspoons, but we're gonna be then using
1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
Once blended we're going to strain it with a strain cloth as you can see here
We're gonna separate all the pulp from the actual almond milk itself
And then leftover you're gonna have this type of pulp don't throw this away
You can eat this you can use it in baking
It's really good for baking or making it pies or any any sort of baking stuff. This is highly recommended to use
this is the finished product as you can see that light tint of red from the strawberries we got my
Bamboo straws as I recently completely got rid of all plastic straws, and I no longer use plastic straws
Perfect
Way better than the store-bought stuff
It's cheaper, so I'm going to throw this in the refrigerator and let this chill for about the whole night and then tomorrow morning
I'm gonna use this in my next tutorial so now you know how to make really really?
Easy simple tasty strawberry infused almond milk, and if you're somewhere trying to get off of using milk all together
I would highly suggest trying to make a glass of this yourself
use that pulp
For baking it's really makes baking goods really really tasty don't throw it away
Don't put things to waste use everything effectively as much as you can that's my my life motto
