Servings 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 4 cups filtered water (plus more for soakin overnight)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Add almonds to a bowl and cover with enough water to submerge. Soak 6-8 hours or overnight. This helps them soften enough so that they can blend properly.
- In the morning, drain almonds from their soaking water and rinse them in a colander.
- Add soaked almonds and 4 cups of fresh filtered water to a high-powered blender. Add in vanilla, honey and salt.
- Blend on high speed for 1 minute, adding 30 seconds more if you feel it necessary to blend.
- Place your nut milk bag over a large bowl or pitcher. Pour the almond milk into the bag and strain the liquid into the bowl, using your hands to wring out all of the milk.
- Pour the almond milk from the bowl into glass jars. Almond milk will keep in the fridge for up to a week, if not longer. If it separates, simply shake the jars.
Notes
Don’t toss the nut pulp -- it can be used to make homemade crackers, add to smoothies or nut flour.
