Servings 1

Ingredients
  

Makes About Four Cups

  • ½ cup raw almonds soaked overnight no need to remove the thin skin
  • 4 cups water
  • ¼ tsp Xanthan Gum
  • pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • Drain the almonds and transfer to a blender.
  • Add water, salt, and xanthan gum.
  • Process at high speed for about a minute.
  • Line a four-cup measuring jug with a nut-bag, and pour the mixture into it.
  • Squeeze the bag as hard as possible to get as much milk as possible. Then, pour the milk into a saucepan; Save the solids left in the bag for other uses.
  • Heat the milk over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until it almost reaches boiling point (don't let it boil). Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature* see note at the end.
  • Transfer to a bottle, close, place in the fridge, and let cool for a few hours.
  • To froth: pour milk into the frother, press the start button, and let it work until you get the desired consistency. Add this frothy milk to coffee, hot cocoa, chai latte, etc.
  • The milk keeps in the fridge up to three days.
  • Shake well before use.

Notes

  • You can froth the milk immediately after removing it from the heat, and you will still get thick foam. However, if you let the milk cool before frothing- the foam will be denser and thicker. But as mentioned, you can get a good result even without cooling.
  • Almonds have a natural sweetness; Those who want it sweeter can add maple or agave syrup to the blender. You can also add a few drops of vanilla extract.
  • If you don't have a frothing device, you can froth it in a "Bodum" carafe for coffee: heat milk in the microwave or stove, pour it into the carafe, push and pull the rod with the coil - until you get a foam. You can also whip with a small battery whisk.
