frankieolives's Notes:
Expand1 cup almonds Ask a question about this ingredient
1.5 cups water Ask a question about this ingredient
a little love, sure, why not Ask a question about this ingredient
Soak your almonds overnight. Countertop is fine. The next day, drain and rinse.
Ask a question about this stepPop the almonds with 1.5 cups of water in the blender, and whir until its super smooth. The blender should run freely. If you like a thinner almond milk, simply add more water to the pitcher. I prefer mine on the richer side.
Ask a question about this stepPour into a chinois and strain, using a wooden spoon to stir and press the mixture and render it of as much milk as possible against the sides of the strainer. The remaining meal should be quite dry, and you should be able to get a full cup of milk from these measurements.

1/2 cup or so homemade almond milk. Recipe above. Ask a question about this ingredient
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Drain and rinse your oats, get 'em into the pot. Cook on low for, oh, I don't know, 20 minutes? Until the grains are al dente. If they are al dente and there is still a lot of liquid left in the pot, don't fret. You would rather have too much liquid in the pot than two little and have to add more during the cooking process, which can lend to uneven cooking and undercooked grains. Simply drain the excess liquid and discard. When I made this yesterday, I had 1/3 more liquid left that I had to drain off.
Ask a question about this stepWhen your oats are al dente, stir in your sliced up figs, and about 1/3 cup the homemade almond milk (recipe above). More if you like it creamier. Cook for a couple of minutes until the figs begin to dissolve. Stir the dissolving figs into the porridge to sweeten it.
Ask a question about this stepI can't believe this is the last step. Spoon into bowls. top with all of your awaiting goodies, and a couple/few more tablespoons of almond milk & enjoy with a good friend!
Ask a question about this stepThis sounds great! Homemade almond milk - whoda thunk it? Love all of the components a lot. You mention rice milk in step 2 but it's not on the ingredient list?

Thank you aargersi. I made the change. I meant to write 'almond milk'. I was afraid that I was going to make that error somewhere along the way! No, not a photographer. In fact, I have my camera on auto setting. Thank you for the compliment. I will pass it on to my Canon ; ) BTW, I love all of your posts!
