Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 grams raw almonds
- 2 cups water
- 2 pieces medjool dates, pitted
- 5 strands saffron strands
- 3 pods cardamom pods
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
Begin by soaking the raw almonds in hot water for 30 minutes to 1 hour. This helps to soften them for blending. After soaking, drain and rinse the almonds well.
Add the soaked almonds to a blender along with 2 cups of water. Blend on high speed until smooth, creating almond milk.
Strain the almond milk through a nut milk bag or a fine mesh sieve into a saucepan, separating the liquid from the solid almond pulp.
Add the pitted medjool dates to the blender along with a small amount of the strained almond milk. Blend until the dates are fully pureed and smooth.
Pour the date mixture into the saucepan containing the rest of the almond milk. Add saffron strands, cardamom pods (crack them open slightly for better infusion), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.
Heat the almond milk mixture over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent it from catching at the bottom.
Remove from heat and let it steep for a few minutes to allow the flavors to infuse further.
Strain the milk into cups, leaving the cardamom pods and any unblended bits behind.
Serve the Paleo Badam Milk warm or chilled, garnished with a few additional saffron strands or chopped almonds, if desired.
