Homemade Sicilian Almond Milk (Latte di Mandorla)

Experience the unparalleled flavor of fresh almond milk, made the traditional Sicilian way. Blanching and grinding your own almonds creates a creamy, subtly sweet beverage that's far superior to store-bought versions. The hint of orange blossom adds a touch of Mediterranean magic.

Method

1

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the almonds and blanch for 60 seconds. Drain and rinse with cold water.

2

Pinch the skins off the almonds. This step is a bit tedious, but worth it for the smooth texture.

3

In a high-speed blender, combine the blanched almonds with 1 cup of water. Blend until a smooth paste forms.

4

Gradually add the remaining 3 cups of water, blending continuously until the mixture is creamy and well emulsified.

5

Stir in the orange blossom water and a pinch of salt.

6

Strain the almond milk through a nut milk bag or several layers of cheesecloth to remove any remaining solids. Squeeze gently to extract all the liquid.

7

Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy on its own, in coffee, or in your favorite recipes.
