Instructions
- Soak almonds in 3-4 cups of filtered water overnight in the fridge. (You need just enough water so they are fully covered).
- Drain almonds (optional to remove skin from almonds - I recommend for a creamier milk!) and add to a powerful blender. Add filtered water into the blender, how much you use depends on the desired thickness. I usually add 3 cups filtered water.
- If using dates, soak them in water for a few minutes to soften. Then add them into the blender.
- Start blender on low setting and gradually move it to high. Once almonds turn into a white liquid, stop the blender (1-2 minutes).
- Place a nut milk bag (or a cheesecloth) over a bowl and begin to pour the liquid over the bag/cheesecloth.
- Squeeze to remove the liquid and the bag/cloth will hold the remaining almond pulp. Set the pulp aside to repurpose if desired, or throw away.
- Once almond milk is strained, add milk back into blender and add in the vanilla and other flavorings you like (such as maple syrup, honey, cinnamon, etc).
- Store in fridge in closed jar for up to 5 days.
