Almond Milk Cold Brew

Ingredients (Serves 2)

Preparation

1. Combine the ground coffee and filtered water, then cover. Steep in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours.
2. Put the almonds in a large container and add enough water to cover them. Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and let them soak for at least 8 to 48 hours.
3. Pour the cold-brewed coffee through a coffee filter or fine-mesh strainer. Drain and rinse the almonds.
4. Line a large strainer with a nut bag or cheesecloth and place it over a large bowl.
5. Add half of the almonds to a blender and pour in the cold-brewed coffee. Blend until the nuts are finely chopped. Pour this mixture into the nut bag.
6. Repeat with the remaining almonds and 1 ½ cups of fresh water.
7. Strain the nut pulp and squeeze it to extract as much almond milk as possible.
8. Sweeten the almond milk coffee if you want. Cover and refrigerate both the almond milk coffee and the almond pulp; save the pulp for other recipes.

Notes

Cold-brew coffee has a smooth, less acidic flavor compared to hot-brewed coffee. You can use sweeteners like honey, agave, or simple syrup to adjust the taste to your liking.
