Almond Milk for the SCD Diet




With someone suffering from USB or IBD it is best to make your own almond milk.  The skin needs to be taken off, and careful what sweetener is added, if desired.  This milk is fresh and naturally good tasting, so much better than the store bought variety.

Almond Milk

Soak one cup of almonds in water overnight in the refrigerator. Strain almond. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil and add soaked almonds then bring back to a boil.  Boil for 1 minute and strain.  Pour almonds onto a cookie sheet lined with a towel.  The almonds will slip their skins more easily now.  Take the skins off the almonds and place in a blender with 3 1/2 to 4 cups of water.  Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1-2 tablespoons of honey if you want to sweeten the almond milk.  Blend until well mixed and strain using  an nut milk bag.  Pour into container and keep in the fridge for up to a week.
