Homemade Almond Milk
Recipe type: drink
 
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.)
  • pinch of salt
  • *Flavor options: cinnamon (1/4 tsp.), cocoa powder (2 tbsp.), granulated sugar (1 tbsp.), agave nectar (1 tbsp.), honey (1 tbsp.), maple syrup (1 tbsp.), vanilla extract (1 tsp.), coconut sugar (1 tbsp.)
Instructions
  1. Pour 1 cup almonds and water into a large bowl. Add a cover and let it sit overnight.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.)
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
