Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 4 cups Water
- 2 units Pitted dates
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Sea salt
- 1 cup Espresso or strong brewed coffee
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Soak the raw almonds in 2 cups of water for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. This will soften them and make blending easier.
Drain and rinse the soaked almonds thoroughly under cool running water.
In a blender, combine the soaked almonds with 2 cups of fresh water, the pitted dates, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
Blend on high speed for about 2 minutes or until completely smooth.
Strain the almond mixture through a nut milk bag or a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth into a large bowl or pitcher to separate the almond milk from the pulp. Squeeze the bag or cheesecloth to extract as much milk as possible.
In a small saucepan, heat the strained almond milk over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until warm but not boiling.
Prepare 1 cup of espresso or strong brewed coffee, distributing evenly into two mugs.
Pour the warmed almond milk into the mugs over the coffee, dividing equally.
Sprinkle ground cinnamon over each latte for flavor and garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your paleo-friendly almond milk latte.
