YUM - Almond Milk

Yesterday morning was the BEST morning of ALL mornings EVER and it will forever go down in infamy SO LONG AS I AM ALIVE!!!!!  I made almond milk, it was amazing and I highly recommend you do the same.

If you choose to do so, you will need:

-1.5 cups of raw almonds
- small handful of dates (7ish)
- 6.5 cups of water
- 1 tsp of vanilla
- dash of cinnamon

First step: soak your almonds overnight...or 8 hours for you people that only sleep 4.

Next, it's time for you to take their little jackets off until they're left in their skivvies. Once they are, it's WASH (bath?) time!

Grab your dates (that you've already pitted by now) and throw them under the water as well.

Now, throw ALL ingredients into your blender and BLEND like you've never blended before!!!

Once you feel that you've pureed the crap out of this concoction, it is time to open the lid and scoop out the foam.  This stuff is perfect for your morning espresso or coffee.

 Next, it's time to grab your super fine (not meaning attractive) strainer and strain.  The bigger your strainer, the better.  Mine was patience-is-a-virtue sized.

After that, taste a bit and you're all set!!!  Your friends and/or puppy will be green with envy...

as you taste the perfect coffee and granola companion.
