Makes approximately 5 cups
Ingredients
1 cup raw almonds (soaked overnight in
water and drained)
2 teaspoons Healthy Chef Matcha
Green Tea
6 fresh dates, pitted
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or powder
6 cups water
Matcha Almond Mylk
Combine almonds, matcha, dates, vanilla
and water in a high-performance blender.
Blend at a high speed until creamy – this
should take about 30 seconds. Strain
through a fine sieve, muslin or cheesecloth.
Give your bag a good squeeze to remove
all the excess moisture. The pulp can be
used for other recipes such as power balls,
cookies or gluten-free crackers. Pour into
clean bottles or jars. The mylk can be stored
in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Inspiration
Make an antioxidant-rich matcha latte by
gently heating Matcha Almond Mylk until
hot – but don’t boil. Pour into your favourite
cup and sip slowly.
