bademovo mlijeko

što/

šalica badema

kako/

Namočiti bademe 8 sati u vodi s nekoliko kapi limuna ili octa. Ocijediti ih i malo isprati pod vodom. Staviti bademe u blender ili multipraktik, dodati litru vode i miksati oko 1-2 minute. Dobro procijediti kroz platnenu vrećicu (a možete i ostaviti neprocijeđeno ako volite).

što ako/

Ako imate blender manjeg volumena, možete staviti pola litre vode, procijediti, vratiti bademe u blender i ponoviti postupak s još pola litre.

Bademovo mlijeko može stajati u frižideru oko 3-4 dana.

/i još

Ostatak badema se može iskoristiti za neki kolač.

Na isti način može se napraviti mlijeko i od ostalih orašastih plodova. Meni je najdraža kombinacija {sezam : badem : indijski oraščić : orah} = {4 : 2 : 2 : 1}. 

Ako želite raditi sezamovo mlijeko (koje je puno kalcija i ostalih važnih minerala), imajte na umu da sezam ima gorkast okus koji je mnogima prejak. Zato ga je dobro razblažiti ostalim orašastim plodovima po želji.

Uvijek koristite integralni sezam ako ga možete nabaviti.

almond milk

what/

1 cup almonds

how/

Soak the almonds or 8 hours in some room temperature water with a bit of lemon juice or vinegar. Strain them and rinse a bit. Put them in a blender, add 1 L of water and mix for around 2 minutes. Strain well through a cotton bag or cheesecloth (or leave it without straining if you like).

what if/

If you have a blender with smaller volume, you can extract the same almonds for two times, each time with half a liter of water.

Almond milk can be kept in a fridge for around 3-4 days.

also/

The rest of almonds (after straining the liquid) can be used in some cake.

You can make any nut ''milk'' the same way. One of my favourite combinations is

{sesame : almond : cashew : walnut} = {4: 2 : 2 : 1}.

Sesame milk is full of calcium and very good for bone recovery, but most of the people find its taste too strong (it is a bit bitter). That's why it is good to mix it with other nuts.

Always use whole grain / integral sesame if you can choose.
