How to make Almond milk to boost up your brains

in life •  7 years ago 

Almond has great health  benefit for the whole body. It works in both bones and brains but most effective with the brains. Do you lack wisdom? Try almond. Is natural and effective. You can roast it with salt, chew it raw or make milk with it. Is very effective when you chew it raw. 

What You Need

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw almonds, preferably organic
  • 2 cups water, plus more for soaking
  • Sweeteners like honey, sugar, agave syrup, or maple syrup, to taste, optional
  • Equipment
  • Bowls
  • Strainer
  • Measuring cup
  • Blender or food processor
  • Fine-mesh nut bag or cheese cloth

Instructions

  1. Soak the almonds overnight or up to 2 days. Place the almonds in a bowl and cover with about an inch of water. They will plump as they absorb water. Let stand on the counter, covered with a cloth, overnight, or refrigerate for up to 2 days. The longer the almonds soak, the creamier the almond milk.
  2. Drain and rinse the almonds. Drain the almonds from their soaking water and rinse them thoroughly under cool running water. At this point, the almonds should feel a little squishy if you pinch them. (It's best to discard the soaking water because it contains phytic acid, which inhibits the body's ability to absorb nutrients.)
  3. Combine the almonds and water in a blender. Place the almonds in the blender and cover with 2 cups of water.
  4. Blend at the highest speed for 2 minutes. Pulse the blender a few times to break up the almonds, then blend continuously for two minutes. The almonds should be broken down into a very fine meal and the water should be white and opaque. (If using a food processor, process for 4 minutes total, pausing to scrape down the sides halfway through.)
  5. Strain the almonds. Line the strainer with either the opened nut bag or cheese cloth, and place over a measuring cup. Pour the almond mixture into the strainer.
  6. Press all the almond milk from the almond meal. Gather the nut bag or cheese cloth around the almond meal and twist close. Squeeze and press with clean hands to extract as much almond milk as possible. You should get about 2 cups. (See Recipe Note for what to do with the leftover almond meal.)
  7. Sweeten to taste. Taste the almond milk, and if a sweeter drink is desired, add sweetener to taste.
  8. Refrigerate almond milk. Store the almond milk in sealed containers in the fridge for up to two days.

NB: For the benefit of the brains, mix almond milk with honey and do not refrigerate it. The honey will preserve it and increase its performance power. Take it with empty stomach every morning before taking any other thing. Is perfect with kids and teenagers too.
