Ingredients
- 1 cup almond ideally organic, raw
- 4 cups water filtered, plus more for soaking
- 1 teaspoon vanilla optional
- 2 date optional, Medjool, pitted
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Soak almonds: Add almonds to a jar and cover with water. Let soak for 6-8 hours (or overnight). Drain, rinse and discard soaking water.
- Blend: Add soaked almonds, 4 cups of fresh water, sea salt, vanilla and dates, if using into a high powered blender and process on high for 3 to 4 minutes or until finely puréed. The nuts should be broken down into a very fine meal and the liquid will be white/milky.
- Strain: Strain the mixture through a nut milk bag into a bowl, squeezing hard until only solids remain.
- Store: Milk will keep in a sealed container in the fridge for about five days. Shake before using.
- Almond pulp: Save almond pulp for another use or discard.
