Instructions
Soaking
- Place one cup of almonds in a bowl and cover with filtered water.
- Cover the bowl and place in the fridge. Soak the almonds for 8-12 hours.
Blending
- After soaking, discard the water and rinse the almonds.
- Rub each almond to remove the skins. (This step is optional but peeling the almonds helps with nutrient absorption.)
- Discard the peels and place the almonds in the pitcher of a high-powered blender.
- Add 4 cups of water and a pinch of salt (if using).
- Blend on high for about 2 minutes until the almonds are broken down, the water turns white and begins to froth.
Straining
- Pour the contents of the blender into a nut bag or cheese cloth that's placed on top of a fine sieve.
- Squeeze until all the liquid has been drained and only the pulp remains.
- Transfer the milk into a clean glass jar or bottle. Cover with a lid and refrigerate.
- If milk separates, simply shake well before drinking to reincorporate.
Notes
- Storing: Store milk in a clean, covered glass jar or bottle in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Sweetened Vanilla Almond Milk: Add the strained milk back into the blender. Then add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a teaspoon of maple syrup . Blend to combine.
