Almond Milk Recipe
Many people don't realize that store bought almond milks contain unnecessary added gums, stabilizers, and sweeteners. That is why I always opt to make my own nut milks at home. This recipe is so simple, creamy, and delicious!
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Organic Raw Almonds
- 4 Cups cold filtered water
- pinch sea salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract optional
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup or 1 soaked date
Instructions
- Place 1 cup of almonds in a small mixing bowl and cover with cold water. Soak overnight or for at least 4 hours. This helps reduce phytic acid and makes blending easier.1 Cup Organic Raw Almonds

- Pour the blended mixture through a nut milk bag, nut bag, cheese cloth, or fine mesh strainer over a mixing bowl. Squeeze well to extract all liquid, leaving behind the leftover almond pulp.
