Ingredients

Almond Milk

  • 1 cup raw almonds 150 g
  • 4 cups water 950 mL
  • 1 pinch of salt

Optional Flavors

  • Sweetened: 2 Tbsp sugar or 2 dates
  • Vanilla: ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Chocolate: 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Berry: ½ cup mixed berries

Instructions

  • Soak: Cover 1 cup raw almonds with water and let them soak overnight in the refrigerator. Alternatively, soak in hot water for 1 to 2 hours.
    A glass bowl filled with raw almonds soaking in water, placed on a white surface, perfect for making homemade almond milk.
  • Blend: Drain and rinse the almonds, then add them to a blender with 4 cups water, a 1 pinch of salt, and any optional flavors. Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes until almonds are broken down.

  • Strain: Strain the mixture through a nut milk bag. Alternatively, lay a thin dish towel in a colander and pour the mixture through. Gather up the corners and squeeze out as much of the almond milk as possible. You can discard the almond pulp or use it in a different recipe.

  • Adjust: Add more sweetener or flavorings as needed. Serve chilled!
