Valentine Gift ~ Strawberry Love Milk
This year as a token of my heart and appreciation for ones I love I am making one of my favorite drinks created by the beautiful Camille. Camille Cregan is a talented actress who also helps me with The Local Rose from time to time. She created this milk as an alternative to the usual version. The strawberry pink makes this a perfect Valentine treat, and it is so delicious I could drink a gallon all to myself! I love the idea of making something from hand, that is also so nutritious. We filled up some glass milk bottles, covered the top with circular cut wrapping paper, and then tied them with red velvet ribbon.

1 cup of almonds soaked in water over night
[infobox]3 1/2 cups of water
1 carton of strawberries
2 tbs of honey
a dash of vanilla
cheese cloth
Blend almonds and water until the almonds are very fine. Strain through cheese cloth and squeeze all the liquid out. Place the strained milk back in the blender and add the strawberries, honey, and vanilla. You can keep the almond meal for baking as well. It’s really good in banana bread. I replace half the flour with almond meal![infobox]
