List of Ingredients




Almond Milk

2 cups almonds - soaked 12 hours, minimum
4 cups pure water
4 - 5 dates
1 teaspoon almond flavoring (or vanilla if you prefer)

Drain soaked almonds and place in blender (Vita Mix is
best). Add water, dates, and flavoring.

Blend until nuts are pulverized (about 2 minutes in
standard blender, 1 minute in a Vita Mix). Pour into a
fine mesh bag and "milk the almonds."

Refrigerate well before serving.

*Save the almond mash for cookies.

** This recipe may be made without the dates and
flavoring to use the milk in soup recipes. If a dessert
milk is wanted add honey and flavoring later.

Rice Milk No. 1

1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
4 cups warm water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup almond or cashew pieces

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until
smooth. Let the milk set for about 30 minutes. Then,
without shaking, pour the milk into another container,
leaving most of the sediment in the first container.
This makes about 4 to 4 1/2 cups.

Notes: When I have used cold water and the rice was
taken out of the refrigerator, it just doesn't come out
that well. I don't know why, but it's best to use warm
water and warm rice (you can nuke it if it's leftover
rice but freshly made is best). I have even let it set
longer than 30 minutes (overnight) without it making a
difference.

Rice Milk No 2

4 cups hot/warm water
1 cup brown rice (you can either soak the rice for 48
hours or cook rice according to instructions)
4 chopped dates

Mix all ingredients in blender until smooth. Let the
milk set for about 30 minutes; then, without stirring,
pour the milk into another container, leaving most of
the sediment in the first container.

OR, if you have a juicer, run milk through the juicer.
If it needs to be even thinner, run it through a cheese
cloth. The juicer usually does the trick for me. This
makes about 4-4 1/2 cups.

Sesame Milk

1/2 cup sesame seeds, soaked
4 cups pure water

Blend until liquefied, strain, and serve.
