Homemade Almond Milk Recipe - have fresh, creamy and smooth almond milk every morning. Dairy free and vegan, this almond milk is delicious and versatile!
Ingredients
  • ⅔ cup almonds
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon honey or other sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
  1. Let the almonds soak, covered with water, at least overnight or up to two days - the longer they soak the creamier the milk will be!
  2. After soaking, drain the almonds and rinse them a few times until the water runs clear.
  3. Add almonds, 2 cups water, sweetener and vanilla to the blender
  4. Blend on highest setting for about 1 minute, until liquefied
  5. Pour the blended mixture through a fine strainer, like cheesecloth or a nut milk bag into a container - squeeze to get all the milk out. The resulting liquid is your almond milk, and the remaining pulp (the almond meal) can be re-purposed or discarded.
  6. Refrigerate and enjoy within 2 days!
Notes
Special equipment:
Nut Milk Bag - used to strain the pulp
Powerful blender - I use this Breville

Storage: store the almond milk in a container in the fridge - it is perishable. The contents may separate but just give it a shake and it will become smooth again.
