Sprouted Almond Milk
Ingredients
- 1 cups sprouted organic raw almonds
- 2 cups filtered water (plus more for soaking)
- your sweetener of choice (honey, monk fruit, maple syrup, etc.)
Servings:
Units:
Instructions
- Place the almonds in a large bowl and cover with water about 1 inch over the almonds. They will plump as they absorb water. Let stand on the counter, covered with a towel, overnight, or up to 2 days in the fridge. The longer the almonds soak, the creamier the almond milk.
- Drain the almonds from their soaking water and rinse them thoroughly under cool running water. Discard the soaking water.
- Combine the almonds and water in a blender (or food processor) and cover with 2 cups of filtered water.
- Pulse the blender a few times to break up the almonds, then blend continuously for 2 minutes. The almonds should be broken down into a very fine meal and the water should be white/opaque. (If using a food processor, process for 4 minutes total, pausing to scrape down the sides halfway through).
- Line a fine mesh strainer with cheesecloth and place over a measuring cup. Pour the almond mixture into the strainer.
- Gather the cheesecloth around the almond mixture and twist close. Squeeze and press with clean hands to extract as much almond milk as possible. You should get about 2 cups.
- Sweeten to taste.
Recipe Notes
The leftover almond meal can be added to oatmeal, smoothies, and muffins as it is. You can also spread it out on a baking sheet and bake it in a low oven (about 170 degrees) until completely dry. Dry almond meal can be kept frozen for several months and used in baked goods (great in Keto bread recipes).

To Your Health’s Sprouted Purple Corn Tortillas
Ingredients
- 2 cups sprouted purple corn flour
- 1 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Celtic salt
- 1 1/8 cups filtered water
- 1/4 cup lard
Servings:
Units:
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients well until a dough ball forms (about 3 minutes). If dough is a little crumbly add a tablespoon of water at a time until dough holds together well. Let dough sit, covered, for about 2 hours. Uncover and separate dough into sixteen pieces. Form the pieces into small, slightly flattened balls.
- Place a floured plastic bag (gallon-sized zip lock) on a bread board. Place a ball of dough on top, then top this with another floured plastic bag and roll the tortilla out with a rolling pin. You can also use a tortilla press in place of the rolling pin. Slowly remove the top plastic bag, flip the tortilla over into your hand and slowly remove the second plastic bag.
- Place a dry iron skillet on a burner set at medium heat. Place a tortilla on the skillet. Once you begin to see some bubbles appear, take a spatula and flip the tortilla over to cook on the other side. Once the second side is a little browned, remove it from the skillet and place on a plate. Repeat the process and simply stack your finished tortillas. Store in a zip lock bag. I refrigerate mine if not using them all.

Servings:
Units:
Instructions
- Pour goat milk in clean bowl. Add rennet and stir thoroughly (about 1-2 minutes).
- Cover bowl with lid or large plate. Place on counter away from direct heat for 24 hours.
- After 24 hours remove plate.
- Spoon off whey from milk that has now separated and thickened, (I use the whey for lacto–fermented canning and mayonnaise) leaving only the milk solids in the bowl.
- Place large piece of cheesecloth or thin tea towel inside colander.
- Place colander inside small bucket or bowl. Pour milk solids into the colander. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sea salt and stir well.

- Gather ends of cheesecloth and tie into a knot, leaving thickened cheese in a ball in bottom of cheesecloth.
- Hang cheesecloth on a hook above your sink or run a large dowel through the knotted cheesecloth and hang it over the top of a pitcher and let your cheese continue to drain for 12 to 24 hours, depending on how dry or creamy you prefer your cheese to be.
- Remove cheese from cheesecloth and store in refrigerator in glass container. Will keep for up to 2 weeks.
Recipe Notes
Utensils needed: large glass or plastic bowl, large plate to cover bowl, large piece of cheesecloth or thin tea towel, large mesh colander, and a small bucket or large bowl that colander will fit in but leave lots of room in bottom for draining the cheese, long–handled spoon or dowel and pitcher.

Ana Sofia’s Pizza
So, here it is my pizza recipe!!! It’s really simple!!!! I also sent you some pictures from the process. I didn’t send a picture of myself because I am shy and I don’t want to have my face in the newsletter(LOL). I hope you’ll understand this!!! Of course, you can change what you want 😉
So here is the story:
I was in Rome last summer and was really surprised with their pizzas. The ingredients are fantastic and most of the pizzas were made in a traditional fired wood oven. I found that one of the most amazing traditional places to eat a nice pizza in Rome was in the Trastevere neighborhood. You can eat a big, big pizza for just 8 euros and share it with your friends, love, or family! However, in all the city you can eat fantastic slices of pizza for a couple of euros, while you are checking the sights.
I was really inspired with their fresh ingredients. Of course, if you eat in a big pizza chain it’s not that great. First, the “base“ it’s not so yummy and the “topping ingredients“ are not fresh, and I can say that most of them come straight from the package or can! Surprising, in Italy, big pizza chains don’t exist!
So, going back to my story: I was missing the flavor of these homemade Italian pizzas and I decided to make one at home, with fresh ingredients but using the normal oven so I went to the supermarket and I bought, for the topping:

Ingredients
- 3 oz. mozzarella cheese (whole milk fresh), sliced
- 1/2 cup organic tomato sauce (or homemade)
- 3 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 zucchini, sliced thin
- 1 red pepper, sliced thin or chopped
- fresh basil and oregano, chopped
Base (for 2 pizzas)
- 5 cups sprouted wheat or spelt flour (plus extra for kneading surface)
- 1 tbsp sea salt
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 10 oz. plus 4 tbsp warm filtered water (80 degrees)
- 1 package or 1/2 tsp dry active yeast
Servings:
Units:
Instructions
- Put the flour and the sugar into a large bowl. Mix them. Then, make a hole in the middle of the flour.
- In a small bowl, mix the yeast, olive oil, and salt in ¼ cup of warm water.
- After that you have to put the mixture of the warm water with the yeast in the hole. After that, add the remainder of the warm water (except the 4 tablespoons).
- Mix, mix, and mix until it looks like a “plasticine“ ball (knead well). But be careful because when you mix this ball, you need to put a bit of flour on the table and on your hands. Otherwise it’s going to be sticky and you cannot mix the ball with your hands. NOTE: If your dough is too dry add 1 tablespoon of water during the kneading process until you get the consistency you want; not too sticky, but not dry).
- Split this in two balls and leave to rest in a bowl for 2 hours (inside the oven, but the oven must be off. The important thing is that the balls need to rest to grow more and to be ready to be used). NOTE: cover the dough with plastic wrap or a damp tea towel and let it rise to double in volume, about 1 to 1 ½ hours in a warm spot in your kitchen.
- Punch down a ball of dough and using your fingers stretch your pizza dough to the shape and thinness you like. Spread on the tomato sauce, arrange cheeses and veggies, sprinkle with fresh herbs and bake.
- Ana suggested preheating your oven to 220 degrees and baking for 20 minutes. Note From Peggy: I’m thinking she may have meant 420 degrees, but I recommend at least preheating your oven to 380 degrees.
- If you’re only going to bake one pizza, you can wrap ½ of your dough in plastic wrap or place in an airtight glass container once you’ve completed the kneading process and place in the refrigerator overnight. Just bring it out to your warm spot to rise 2 hours or more before you’re ready to bake with it. Try making bread sticks or maybe herbed pinwheels for variety with the second half of dough.
