Ingredients
- 1 cup of raw almonds
- 3 ½ cups of cold filtered water
- 1 – 2 tablespoons of natural maple syrup depending on how sweet you want it
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Optional: Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Place your almonds in water overnight for 18 – 24 hours.
- Continue to drain the soaked almonds and rinse them well. (Discard that water)
- Then place your almonds in your blender, together with your fresh water, maple syrup and vanilla. Blend until creamy for about 2 -3 minutes.
- Strain your almond milk using a nut bag strainer or an ultra fine mesh strainer into an airtight container. Squeeze well to extract the extra liquid.
- Store the almond milk in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Notes
– You can also strain your milk into a measuring bowl so its easier to pour into your carafe to avoid making a mess.
– You can also add a pinch of salt to heighten the almond flavor.
– If you want the almond milk to be unsweetened, leave out the maple syrup.
