Perfect basic recipe. I used blanched almonds which made it oh so creamy. They almost completely dissolved!! I used this in place of steamed milk in recipe#277458 which made for a lovely dairy free tea. The only problem was that adding boiled water to my already slightly cracked blender made it crack a bit more. I would use this recipe again if I am looking for very creamy almond milk and don't mind the water being boiled, ie. not a raw recipe!

This was so easy to make in my Vitamix. I added some chopped dates for sweetness. I think it would work best to puree the almonds with only 1/2 cup of water for a while before adding the rest of the water. I strained it through a fairly coarse strainer rather than cheesecloth, and it was thick and delicious! Thanks!!

I'm an ex-pat NZer living in the tropical Top End of Australia. Which makes it a perfect place to make homemade bread and summer recipes all year around. I experiment on my 3 kids who have grown up trying new Zaar recipes every other day and they are thriving.
I'm the lacto-ovo vegetarian in the family and somehow I got roped in to become a Forum Host here at Zaar. So check out the Vegetarian and Vegan Forum http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=43 and feel free to join in whether you are a fully fledged vegan or someone who needs to cater for a vegetarian and has no idea where to start.
Every year I try to do something a bit different to push the envelope a little bit. In 2005 I learned how to sail a dinghy; 2006's grand passion is mosaics. Check out my blog!
Between raising three children, working almost fulltime and trying to pursue my hobbies...let's say that my time management skills have greatly improved over the years!
I am also very interested in living a sustainable lifestyle. Essentially I'm finding that I'm getting back to the country lifestyle I enjoyed in my childhood even though these days I live in themiddle of suburbia. To this end I have started gardening although I am a total gardening virgin when it comes to gardening in a tropical climate. I also have a cookbook with a number of recipes you can make from scratch. Living clean and green is good for you AND cheaper!
