250g almonds, soaked for at least 2 hours in water
750ml fresh water

This is one of my absolute favourite drinks - it's such a healthy replacement for all other types of milk, especially dairy, and it's so simple to make. Just rinse the soaked nuts, then combine them with the fresh water in a blender. Stop when the liquid is white and all the almonds seem to have been blended in thoroughly. (Tip: I always love to sip the creamy froth from the top of the just-blended mixture - it is divinely smooth and velvety.) To separate the milk from the almond meal, squeeze the mixture through some fine cloth, such as a nut milk bag, a piece of muslin or an old, clean stocking. The milk is delicious on its own, or used over cereal, etc and will keep for a day or two in the fridge. The leftover almond meal can also be used in lovely recipes - sweet or savoury.
