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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Add the soaked almonds to a blender along with 2 cups of water. Blend on high speed until smooth, creating almond milk.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Heat the almond milk mixture over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent it from catching at the bottom.
Step 7
Remove from heat and let it steep for a few minutes to allow the flavors to infuse further.
Step 8
Strain the milk into cups, leaving the cardamom pods and any unblended bits behind.
Step 9
Serve the Paleo Badam Milk warm or chilled, garnished with a few additional saffron strands or chopped almonds, if desired.
