raw vegan 'egg nog'

i make this every year for the holiday season, and it is a hit among everyone, even people who dont usually even like egg nog. its a recipe i got from victoria of the raw family. if you dont have a strainer bag of cheesecloth on hand to strain the drink, or if you are just lazy and in a pinch, you can use any kind of non dairy milk as your base, in substitution for the almonds and water. but the real deal goes a something like this:


1 cup raw almonds soaked overnight

2 cups water

4-5 dates

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

(i add a teaspoon of cinnamon too!)

Thoroughly blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Strain mixture through a nut milk bag. Pour into a jar.

Serves 4
