How To Make Almond Milk
1.
Welcome to the world of homemade almond milk! Follow these simple steps to create your own delicious and nutritious plant-based milk.
2.
First, soak 1 cup of raw almonds in water overnight. This will soften them and make them easier to blend.
3.
Drain the almonds and add them to a blender with 4 cups of water. You can adjust the water amount depending on how thick you want your milk to be.
4.
Blend on high for 2-3 minutes until the almonds are finely ground and the mixture looks creamy.
5.
Next, strain the mixture through a nut milk bag or cheesecloth into a large bowl. This will remove any almond pulp and leave you with smooth milk.
6.
Squeeze the bag or cloth to get all the milk out. Don't throw away the leftover almond pulp, you can use it in baking or as a topping for oatmeal.
7.
Add a pinch of salt and any desired flavorings like vanilla extract or honey to the milk and give it a stir.
8.
Transfer the milk to a glass jar or bottle and store it in the fridge for up to 5 days. Shake well before using as the milk may separate.
9.
Enjoy your homemade almond milk in smoothies, cereal, or as a dairy-free alternative in your coffee or tea.

Now that you know how easy it is to make almond milk, you'll never have to buy store-bought again. Cheers to a healthier and tastier milk option!
