This fresh and creamy almond milk is a tasty alternative to dairy without all of the added ingredients that you would find in the store bought versions.
Ingredients
1 cup almonds
4 cups filtered water (You'll need some for soaking your almonds too.)
Pour 1 cup almonds and water into a large bowl. Add a cover and let it sit overnight.
Drain and rinse the almonds. Pour the soaked almonds into a blender and add 4 cups of filtered water. Blend for 1-2 minutes until the almonds are ground into a fine pulp.
Strain and squeeze the mixture through a Nut Milk Bag to separate the milk from the pulp. Add a pinch of salt to the milk. (The pulp can be turned into almond flour for baking.)
Whisk any desired flavorings into the milk. Cocoa and a sweetener like sugar or agave nectar make a delicious chocolate almond milk. Cinnamon, vanilla, and sugar are another great combination.
Pour the milk into a container and keep it refrigerated. If the mixture separates simply shake or stir before serving. Use and enjoy within three days.
