Ingredients
Almond Milk
- 1 cup raw almonds 150 g
- 4 cups water 950 mL
- Pinch of salt
Optional Flavors
- Sweetened: 2 Tbsp sugar or 2 dates
- Vanilla: ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Chocolate: 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- Berry: ½ cup mixed berries
Instructions
- Soak: Cover the almonds with water and let them soak overnight in the refrigerator. Alternatively, soak in hot water for 1 to 2 hours.
- Blend: Drain and rinse the almonds, then add them to a blender with 4 cups of cold water and any optional flavors. Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes until almonds are broken down.
- Strain: Strain the mixture through a nut milk bag. Alternatively, lay a thin dish towel in a colander and pour the mixture through. Gather up the corners and squeeze out as much of the almond milk as possible. Discard the almond pulp (or bake with it—see notes).
- Adjust: Add a pinch of salt and more sweetener or flavorings as needed. Serve chilled.
