Homemade Almond Milk
Make your own almond milk at home in minutes with this simple and delicious homemade almond milk recipe!
Servings 8 cups
Ingredients
- 2 cups almonds
- 4 cups of water + 8 cups water I use spring water
- dash of salt
- 2 tbsp honey optional
- dash of vanilla extract
- Nut Milk bag you can use a thin dishtowel, but the bag is worth it if you’re going to be making milk often!
Instructions
- Wash almonds under warm water and rinse almonds to remove any remaining dirt. (don't use soap!)
- Soak the almonds in 4 cups of water over night (this is optional, but it does release more nutrients into the milk if you choose to do so).
- Add the almonds and 8 cups of water to a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Add remaining ingredients and blend to combine.
- Place your Nut Milk bag, or dishtowel, over a large pitcher. Slowly pour half the milk through the bag.
- Gently begin to squeeze out the remaining milk from the almond pulp. BE GENTLE! If you squeeze too hard or too fast the milk will spray everywhere and you will waste a ton.
- Continue kneading the bag until the pulp is fairly dry. Save pulp for other recipes.
- Repeat until all milk is filtered.
- Place finished milk into a container of your choice and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
Chocolate almond milk: Add 2-4 tablespoons of cocoa or cacao during the blending process.
