Strain the Almond Milk
Place a nut milk bag, cheesecloth, or a fine mesh strainer over a bowl or pitcher. Pour the blended almond mixture into the strainer and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the liquid to pass through.

Squeeze Out Excess Liquid
Gather the edges of the nut milk bag or cheesecloth and twist to squeeze out as much almond milk as possible. Discard the almond pulp or save it for other recipes.
