Almond Milk
1 cup of dried raw almonds makes 8 cups of almond milk (including pulp) which equals 8 cups of human milk. Almond milk is similar in composition to mother’s milk, matching more closely in calories, protein, fat, carbohydrate, calcium, iron and magnesium than cow’s milk or goat’s milk.
1 cup dried, blanched almonds (skinless)*
7-1/4 cups water
9-1/2 tbsp. honey (it is recommended to use pasteurized honey for babies under a year)
Put in blender, one half of the total ingredients at a time. Blend until milky smooth.
Strain thoroughly to remove as much pulp as possible for infants under 5 months old. For babies over 5 months, a bit of pulp can be left.
* To blanch, pour boiling water over the nuts until the skins can be slipped off easily with your fingers.
