Ingredients:

• 1 cup raw unsalted almonds

• 1 ½ tbsp maple syrup

• 3 cups water

• 3 tbsp arrowroot starch

• ½ tsp agar agar powder

Instructions:

1) Soak almonds in warm water for at least 1 hour. Drain and rinse.

2) In a food processor or high-speed blender, blend the almonds, maple syrup, and 2 cups of water. Blend for about 1 minute or until almonds are fully broken down.

3) Use a nut milk bag to strain the almond milk and pour into a saucepan. Squeeze out as much liquid as you can and dispose of the remaining almond fragments.

4) Add the remaining 1 cup of water, arrowroot starch, and agar agar powder. Mix over low-medium heat until dissolved.

5) Bring the pot to a medium heat and slowly bring the milk to a boil. Whisk frequently as the milk is coming to temperature. Once bubbles are rising to the surface, reduce to low heat to maintain a simmer, and whisk for about 2 minutes. This step is to activate the starch and agar, which thickens the yogurt. Remove from heat.

6) Allow the mixture to cool for about 30-45 minutes. As the mixture is cooling, make sure to whisk it every now and then to maintain its smoothness.

7) Transfer the mixture to a 1-quart jar and cover with a lid. Wrap the jar in a towel and place it in a warm, sunny spot in your house, preferably near a window for at least 8 hours. This step allows the yogurt to ferment.

8) When the 8 hours is up, refrigerate the yogurt overnight and enjoy for up to 7 days refrigerated.
