SERVES 3-5

Nut milk is a delicious and nutrient-filled substitute for regular milk. It lasts for a few days in the refrigerator, and stays at its best if vacuum-sealed.

1 cup germinated almonds or nut of your choice
3-5 cups distilled water
1 tablespoon raw honey

Blend germinated almonds and water until almonds are practically pulverized. Strain through.

TIP: Let your almonds germinate (soak in water) for 8-12 hours before using them.
