Homemade almond milk is so easy - just soak, blend and strain! In this post I’m breaking down how to make your own almond milk and sharing recipes for how to use it!
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.
