Oddly enough... I was in the mood to make another batch of homemade milk... so I decided let's venture a little different than the usual almond or coconut or occasional oat milk.. So I threw in a bunch of ingredients I had and came up with Gingerbread milk.
Take a handful of almonds
3/4 cup shredded coconut
Soak those 2 for about 2 hours atleast.
Once those are soaked pour of the excess water and throw it all in the blender.
Add 3-4 cups of fresh water depending on consistency.
Now this is where you can go crazy and add your own combo of spices or extras.
I added 2 tsp. molasses for color and sweetness, 2 tsp vanilla ext., and a pinch of cocoa powder.
If i had figs or dates i would add 1 or 2 instead of molasses but hey, I went with what I had.
So once you add all that good stuff to the blender, blend for about 1 to 2 minutes on Med.
Then strain and bottle or enjoy immediately.
You can take a left over mason jar or any other used glass jar will do the trick.
Now the only thing this reminds me of is a mix between, cocoa, coffee and gingerbread cookies, lol so I went with gingerbread Milk, give it a shot see if you like it :)
Also! You will probably have leftover pulp and stuff from the almond and coconuts, just squeeze out all the extra liquid, save and dry or microwave for a minute, add some nutritional yeast, some onion powder, maybe a lil cayenne, some aminos or soy sauce and you got yourself some raw smokey Parmesan cheez.
Not bad!
