How to Make Almond Milk
Description
How to Make Almond Milk outlines a straightforward method starting with soaking raw almonds in water overnight to soften them, which helps with blending and flavor extraction. The soaked almonds are drained and then high-speed blended with fresh filtered water and a pinch of salt to enhance taste. The blended mixture is strained using a nut milk bag, coffee filter, or thin dish towel to separate the liquid from the almond pulp, producing a smooth nut milk. The resulting almond milk should be refrigerated in a sealed bottle and kept for up to seven days, providing a fresh dairy-free milk substitute with a subtle nutty taste and creamy texture. This homemade version avoids additives and can be adjusted to personal preference by altering water ratios or salt amount.
Ingredients
- 1 cups almond raw
- 4 cups water filtered
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- Combine raw almonds with enough water to cover the almonds by about least 3 inches. Let stand overnight.
- The next day, strain the almonds. Then transfer to a high-speed blender with the 4 cups filtered water and a pinch of salt.
- Blend until smooth and well blended, about 1 minute. Be careful not run too long as this will heat the milk.
- Strain the milk in a nut milk bag, coffee filter, or a clean and thin dish towel. Pour the almond milk into a bottle, seal and place in the fridge for up to 7 days.
Notes
- Store almond milk in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days to maintain freshness.
- Avoid freezing almond milk as the texture changes and becomes less appealing.
