Cookbook:Potato Milk

Potato milk is an alternative non-dairy drink that can be used instead of milk.

Ingredients

 * 2 large white potatoes
 * 40 g almonds
 * 3 tbsp maple syrup or honey
 * ½ tsp salt
 * 600 ml water
 * ½ tsp vanilla
 * 800 ml water

Equipment

 * Chopping board
 * Peeler
 * Large pan
 * Large knife
 * Measuring jug
 * Drainer
 * Blender
 * Cheesecloth or nut-milk bag.

Procedure

 * 1) Pre-soak your almonds for 1 hour and then drain.
 * 2) Peel the potatoes and cut into 5 cm chunks. Place your chunks into your pan with water covering their tops.
 * 3) Bring your hob to a high heat, cooking for around 15 minutes until tender.
 * 4) Drain your potatoes. Place them into your blender with the almonds, vanilla, and salt. Add the water. Blend until smooth on a high speed.
 * 5) Placing your cheesecloth into a bowl, place your mixture into it and use a fork to agitate if needed.
 * 6) When strained, taste your strained mixture. Add more water, vanilla, salt, or maple syrup/ honey as needed - depending on your tastes.
 * 7) Chill and serve, shaking your mixture beforehand.

Notes, tips, and variations

 * You can reuse any leftover potato mixture in other dishes, like potato scones or mashed potato.
 * A fine metal strainer can be used in place of the cheesecloth, although it's not as effective.
