Ayurveda-Style Almond Milk with Spices
Ayurveda really knows how to do almonds! The nuts are soaked and the skins removed for easier digestion. For added sweetness without added sugar, try a chopped date or a dried fig. The spices are suggestions – please feel free to add any that you love. Enjoy this delicious, nutritious almond milk warmed or chilled.
