Strawberry Almond Milk
Description
Strawberry Almond Milk starts by soaking raw almonds overnight to soften them, which enhances blending and extraction of flavors. After soaking, the almonds are blended with strawberries, a sweetener such as maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, sea salt, and filtered water. The mixture is then strained through a cheesecloth or nut milk bag to remove pulp, yielding a smooth, creamy milk with subtle strawberry notes. The natural sweetness balances the mild nuttiness of almonds, producing a refreshing drink that can serve as a dairy alternative.
The resulting strawberry almond milk offers a gently sweet and fruity taste while maintaining a thin but creamy texture, making it suitable for drinking as is or adding to cereals, smoothies, or coffee. Its homemade nature provides flexibility to adjust sweetness or fruit quantity according to preference. The straightforward soaking and blending method preserves the raw qualities of almonds and freshness of strawberries.
Prepared strawberry almond milk should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within a few days for best flavor and safety. It can be served chilled or over ice. This recipe provides a plant-based, fruit-infused beverage option that fits various dietary preferences without relying on artificial additives.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond raw
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp maple syrup or honey or soaked dates
- 1 pinch salt sea salt
- 1 cup strawberries fresh or frozen
- 4-5 cups water filtered
Instructions
- Soak your almonds overnight in water. If you are using 1 cup of almonds, be sure to have at least 2 cups of water. The almonds will absorb the liquid and expand.
- Drain the almonds and blend together the soaked almonds, sweetener of choice, salt, vanilla extract, strawberries, and filtered water.
- Strain the blended liquid through a cheesecloth or nut milk bag (I like putting a fine mesh strainer underneath for extra support) and squeeze every last bit of liquid out of the almonds.
- Store in the fridge or serve immediately.
