Ingredients

  • 1 cup Raw Almonds (150g) Soaked
  • 3 cups Water (720ml)

Optional:

Instructions

  • Measure out a cup of almonds and place them into a bowl, pour clear filtered water over them and leave to soak for 6 hours (or overnight). Then throw off the soak water and rinse the nuts.
  • Add the soaked almonds, 3 cups of filtered water, dates, vanilla and salt to a blender jug. Blend very well, for at least a minute.
  • Strain the almond milk through a nut milk bag, squeezing the nut milk bag to get every last drop of milk and leaving a very dry pulp behind in the bag.
  • Transfer the strained milk into a jar or milk bottle and keep covered in the refrigerator. Shake before using. Consume within 3 days.
  • Discard the almond pulp or use it to make cookies.

Notes

  1. Prep time does not include soaking the almonds first.
  2. If you want a super rich almond milk you can reduce the water to 2 cups and if you want a lighter version you can increase the water to 4 cups.
  3. This recipe makes around 3 cups of creamy almond milk.
