Activating Nuts and Making Nut Milk
Most store bought dairy free milks are filled with preservatives so making your own nut milk is the best solution.
Activating Nuts
Why activate nuts? This increases the nutritional value and breaks down the phytic acid which interferes with your digestive enzymes and prevents you absorbing all the nutrients in your food.
How?
Soak raw nuts in water for a period of time (around 12 hrs) - this starts off the germination or sprouting process.
Dehydrate (cook in oven or dehydrator) at a low temperature (70 degrees) until crispy (approx. 5-7 hours).
Making Nut Milk
Soak 1 cup of nuts (almond) over night.
Drain and rinse nuts.
Mix in liquidiser with 4 cups of water until nuts are completely pulped up.
Strain through muslin or nut milk bag.
Keeps in the back of the fridge for up to a week.
Use milk in smoothies and recipes that require cows milk.
Use the left over pulp for almond crumb on chicken/fish or in chocolate power balls.
