Almond Chai Moon Juice

At night, fill a pint sized mason jar 3/4 full of water.  Then add the following ingredients:

Small Handful of Almonds

2 dates (pits removed)

1 fig

2 black peppercorns

1 cardamom pod

1 Tbs. pumpkin seed

1 tsp. poppy seed

1/2 piece of ginger (optional)

Allow it to soak overnight, preferably in the moon light.  In the morning there are two options:

A) Gently warm all the contents (not to a boil), then put them in a blender and mix them up at a high speed.

or

B) Strain out most of the water, boil 1 cup of milk with all the contents, then blend at a high speed. 

We have been doing option one and also using more water, about three cups. We use our Vitamix blender.
