Homemade almond milk for the win! Yesterday I made my first batch of almond milk and I feel this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship! It was pretty easy and cost less than the all natural organic almond milk I was buying at the store.
What you need:
1 cup raw organic almonds
Filtered water ( I used our britta pitcher)
Cheese cloth or a nut milk bag
Blender
Metal mesh strainer
Jar to put finished almond milk in
Optional: vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt
Instructions:
Soak almonds in filtered water for 10-48 hours in filtered water
Drain almonds from soaking water and rinse ( do NOT use water almonds were soaking in to make almond milk you will get sick)
Place almonds and 3 cups filtered water in blender and blend until frothy and almond pieces are hard to see
Place cheese cloth or nut milk bag over wire strainer and place strainer in bowl
Slowly pour almond milk mixture through cheese cloth covered strainer, you may need spatula to move the almond meal around so liquid can drain through
Once all the liquid has strained through squeeze almond meal in cheese cloth to get leftover liquid ( there will be a lot)
Now you can add spices or vanilla extract if you like and pour almond milk into container with lid. It should keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days ( if you're like me you'll drink it all in 2 days anyway!!!)
Hope you enjoy!
