- 01
Put the almonds into a bowl, and cover them with at least one 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water. Leave them in the refrigerator overnight, and then drain the water. This is called sprouting or steeping.
- 02
Put the drained almonds into a blender, and blend in the 3 cups (708 ml) of water. The mixture will start clear and quickly change color. Stop blending after a few minutes when there is no visible change in color or consistency anymore.
- 03
Strain this mixture over a pitcher. You can either strain it through a fine sieve by squeezing the milk from the moist mixture through the sieve with a wooden spoon, or simply place mesh sometimes called a sprout or nut-milk bag that is usually made of nylon on top of the pitcher in order to squeeze the mixture through the mesh by hand. You may either discard the pulp or use it for other recipes, such as mixing it into almond .
- 04
Return the strained almond milk into the blender. Add the dates and blend until there is no longer any visible change in color or consistency.
- 05
Refrigerate or pour into a drinking cup and consume.
