Jo's Going Raw!: I've decided i need help

I decided i need help staying raw. I am thinking a raw co-op thing. sort of like a cookie exchange but with food or services. hmm.

NUT MILK RECIPE

1-2 cup raw almonds (soaked min 8 hrs or overnight)
2-3 dates if desired

Blend soaked and drained almonds with dates in blender, (may remove skins first for whiter milk and easier straining) slowly adding water first to make a paste and then slooowwwly adding water til you reach capacity of blender. Strain in a fine strainer, a mesh bag, or both. Gentle on the mesh bag as to not pop the seams! Taste the finished product and add more water to the finished product if necessary and you're done! Store in a glass jar for maximum "coldness" while storing in fridge.

This is messier than you think until you get the hang of it.. Start with clean hands and a wide bowl or two, preferably with a pour spout edge for tidy pouring.
