Optional Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Soak the Almonds
Place the raw almonds in a large bowl and cover them with 4 cups of water. Allow the almonds to soak for at least 8 hours or overnight. This process softens the almonds and makes them easier to blend.
Blending
- 2
Blend the Ingredients
After soaking, drain the almonds and rinse them under cool running water. Add the soaked almonds to a blender along with 4 cups of fresh water. Blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Straining
- 3
Strain the Mixture
To separate the almond milk from the almond pulp, place a nut milk bag or a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl. Pour the blended almond mixture into the strainer and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the liquid to drain through. Squeeze the bag or strainer gently to extract as much milk as possible.
Flavoring (Optional)
- 4
Add Flavorings
If desired, pour the strained almond milk back into the blender, and add salt, vanilla extract, and sweetener. Blend for an additional 30 seconds until well combined. Adjust the sweetness to your preference.
Storage
- 5
Store the Almond Milk
Transfer the almond milk into a clean glass jar or container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. Shake well before each use as separation is natural.
