Difficulty

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.
