To Make Almond Milk
In a high speed blender mix 1 cup of almonds with 2 cups of water. Blend on high for 2 minutes, or until smooth. Strain mixture through a fine mesh strainer, muslin cloth or a nut milk bag to remove the skin and pulp from the milk. Chill in the fridge and consume within 3 days.
To Make Almond Milk Kefir
Follow instructions for animal milk kefir substituting the milk for almond milk or nut milk of choice. The kefir will not feed off the almond milk however they will still inoculate the milk and sour it slightly over night. You will need to return the milk kefir grains to animal milk every second batch so that they can feed. Please note sometimes it takes a little time to get the grains used to this procedure. If your grains seem unhappy start by mixing almond milk with cow milk (to ferment) to get them used to the change.
