HOW TO MAKE ALMOND MILK

Almond milk is easily made from almonds and water. You can then add a sweetener, pinch of salt and vanilla extract if you’d like.

INGREDIENTS:

-1 cups raw almonds, soaked overnight

-4 cups cold filtered water, plus more for soaking

OPTIONAL

-1 tsp vanilla extract

-1 tbsp maple syrup, honey or 1-2 soaked dates

-pinch of sea salt

DIRECTIONS:

1. After the almonds have soaked overnight, drain and rinse them.

2. Place the almonds in your Vitamix along with four cups of fresh, cold water and any optional add-ins.

3. Blend on high for 2 minutes.

4. Strain the almond milk through a nut-milk bag or a few layers of cheesecloth into a bowl or large measuring cup. Pour the almond milk into an air-tight storage container and place in the fridge for up to 3 days.
