So after a failed attempt of making "water based kefir", I am not in the process of making Almond Milk Kefir. Almond milk (and rarely soy milk) is the only kind of milk I will drink. I have recently cut out all dairy products to help my skin, so far it has made a huge difference. The process of making almond milk kefir isn't too complicated but it does take time, just like all fermentation projects do.

I bought a bunch of organic raw almonds and they are currently soaking in cold water. They must soak for twelve hours. The almonds must be raw as well, if they are roasted or blanched it will not work.
After they soak I will rinse them off and mix in a blender with 6 cups of water and a dried fig; the dried fig give it the sugars it needs to ferment. Once it blends you have to strain out the blended almonds so you just have the "milk". I will be using cheese cloth to strain it. I will be adding probiotics to this; I bought a powered blend that I got from healthy living. The process goes on from here, a bit similar to making yogurt- it has to heat up then sit for 12 hours or so.

I am very excited to see how this comes out and I also saw many recipes that I can use the pulp with, "waste not, want not" right?
This picture is not very exciting but this is all I have so far….
