Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Soaking Time: 8 hours
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Yield: About 4 cups
Ingredients
1 cup of raw almonds
4 cups of filtered water
1-2 tablespoons of CBD oil (based on your preference and tolerance)
1 tablespoon of honey (or to taste)
A pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Start by soaking the almonds overnight or for at least 8 hours. This will soften them, making the blending process easier and the milk creamier.
- Drain and rinse the soaked almonds under cool running water.
- In a blender, combine the almonds and filtered water. Blend on high speed for about 2-3 minutes or until a fine meal forms. Remember, in the words of Julia, “You don’t have to cook fancy or complicated masterpieces – just good food from fresh ingredients.”
- Over a large bowl or jug, strain the almond meal mixture through a cheesecloth or nut milk bag. Make sure to squeeze well to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Return the strained almond milk to the blender. Add in the CBD oil, honey, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend on low speed just until combined.
- Taste and add more honey or CBD oil if desired, blending again if necessary.
- Pour your freshly made CBD infused almond milk into an airtight bottle or jar and refrigerate. Shake well before using as contents may settle.
Conclusion
Voilà! You’ve made a comforting, healthful, and delicious beverage, mastering the art of infusing a modern ingredient into a traditional kitchen staple, just as Julia Child herself might have done. This milk is perfect for those seeking calm and balance in their routine. Bon appétit!
