Homemade Ice Milk. -Vanilla, Chocolate, Almond, Fruit Choices image

Ice Milk is not ice cream but it will give you the feeling of the frozen treat with far more ease and no machine needed. When it comes out all frozen, let it sit for a few minutes in the sun and then stir it up, it is much more like ice cream at that point. Even better, you can make as much as you want at a time :) For the flavorings, add to your taste, obviously if you choose fresh fruit you may want more than an extract flavoring. Cooking time is actually time to freeze.

1 cup milk, any kind
1 teaspoon artificial sweetener (or sugar)

  • Place in the freezer overnight.
  • Next day, let it sit in sun for a few minutes then stir it and you will have ice milk. Until then it just looks like frozen ice lol.

QUICK & EASY HOMEMADE ALMOND MILK



Quick & Easy Homemade Almond Milk image

Raw almonds plus water... that's it folks- absolutely no fuss. Best with organic almonds and filtered water, but in a pinch or regular raw almonds and tap water will do. This nut milk is fresh and creamy, and reminds me of ice cold skim milk but with a beautiful almond flavor. To perk it up and make it a real treat, try adding a tablespoon of dark maple syrup and a splash of almond extract to a cold or warm glass of the stuff. Also great in tea and cocoa.

Categories     Beverages

Time 15m

Yield 32 ounces, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 cup organic raw almonds
5 cups filtered water

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, blanche almonds for about 3 minutes. Drain and let cool on a wire rack or on a tea towel.
  • When cool enough to handle pop the skins off the nuts, and throw them in the compost.
  • Pour nut meats and 5 cups of filtered water into a blender and blend on high for about 3-5 minutes. If 5 cups of water seems too much for your blender to handle at once, start with 2 cups of water and then add the remaining 3 cups half way through blending.
  • Strain the mixture with cheesecloth or a fine sieve over a large jar (or recycled glass juice container). Once should be fine but if you really don't want any almond granules left in there, twice should cover it.
  • Et voilá! Fresh homemade almond milk. Refrigerate any milk you won't be drinking immediately for up to a week. For creamier milk, use less water. For lighter milk, use more water.

Tips:

  • Use raw almonds: Raw almonds are best for making almond milk because they have a milder flavor and are easier to blend.
  • Soak the almonds overnight: Soaking the almonds overnight helps to soften them and make them easier to blend, which results in a smoother almond milk.
  • Use filtered water: Filtered water will help to remove any impurities from the water and produce a cleaner tasting almond milk.
  • Strain the almond milk through a cheesecloth: Straining the almond milk through a cheesecloth will help to remove any solids and produce a smooth and creamy almond milk.
  • Sweeten to taste: You can sweeten the almond milk to taste with honey, maple syrup, or another sweetener of your choice.
  • Flavor the almond milk: You can flavor the almond milk with vanilla extract, almond extract, or other flavorings of your choice.
  • Store the almond milk in the refrigerator: Almond milk can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Homemade almond milk is a delicious and healthy alternative to dairy milk. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a creamy and flavorful almond milk that is perfect for drinking, cooking, or baking.
