Lectin-free Non-dairy Chocolate Almond Milk Recipe

Soak 1 cup of almonds in hot water for about 20 minutes to blanch them.

Rub the soaked almonds with your fingers to remove the skins.

In a blender, add the blanched almonds, 3 cups of water, 1/3 cup of cacao powder, and 10 to 12 dates.

Stir the mixture with a spoon to incorporate the cacao powder before blending.

Blend the mixture for about 1 minute until creamy.

Pour the almond milk into a container and refrigerate it overnight.

After resting overnight, check for separation; this is normal due to the absence of preservatives.

Swish the almond milk around to recombine.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and stir it in to enhance the flavor.
