Homemade Almond Milk
Made with just almonds, water, and salt, this Homemade Almond Milk is super smooth and creamy with a nutty flavor. It's super simple to make with a blender and tastes much better than the store-bought version!

Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 6 ½ cups water divided
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place the almonds in a bowl and cover them with water (I use about 1 ½ cups). Let rest overnight. For best results, let them soak for a couple of days.
- Drain and rinse almonds.
- Place the almonds, 4 cups water, salt, and dates (if adding) in a blender and blend on medium or high for 1.5-2 minutes.
- Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl, rest a doubled piece of cheesecloth over the strainer and pour the almond mixture through it. You may need to shake it a bit to get it to all go through. Depending on your preferences, you may want to do this more than once.
- Once you’re finished straining, this is when you would stir in the vanilla.
- Store in a sealed jar or container, in the fridge, for up to 4 days. Shake before use.
