The Holy Grail of Homemade Almond Milk? Yes, according to Evan Kleiman, KCRW radio personality, restaurateur and founder of Slow Food LA. Easy enough for your everyday (non)dairy needs. After putting raw almonds, old fashioned oats and dried unsweetened coconut in the blender, add boiling water, blend (careful of splattering the hot water), let steep, strain and refrigerate in a quart mason jar. It’ll keep for 4 days (if it doesn’t disappear first). In addition to a tall cold glass with cookies, use in coffee, in muesli, and smoothies. Then there’s adding cocoa. http://blogs.kcrw.com/goodfood/2013/04/recipe-the-holy-grail-of-homemade-almond-milk/
