Homemade Nut Milk

5/5/2014

Yet again, homemade food proves it's way better then store bought. This version of almond milk is so creamy and actually tastes like real almonds, can you believe that? :)

This version can be transferred into other types of milk like coconut, cashew, macadamia, hazelnut, etc.

Homemade Almond Milk

Servings: ~ 24oz 

2 cups of raw almonds 

4 cups of water


Start by soaking your almonds in a bowl of water overnight. (6 hours will do, I just find it's easier to let them soak overnight)

Pour almonds through a strainer and rinse very well!

Put almonds and the 4 cups of (new) clean water into your blender & blend on high for 1-2 minutes.
Picture
Place a cheesecloth (or mesh strainer or nut milk bag) over a wide mouth container.
Picture
Pour in 1/4-1/2 of the almond milk mixture from the blender (depending on how large the strainer is you are using). Grab all sides to enclose the almond mixture and start to squeeze! Here comes your fresh delicious almond milk! 
Picture
Gently squeeze until all the milk comes out then place the almond meal into a bowl (you can save this to dehydrate and make almond flour for baking!) 

Repeat the straining until you are done.

Store almond milk in a mason jar in the fridge for 3-4 days. Feel free to add in a tsp of vanilla extract, sweetener, cinnamon, or even some raw cacao powder for chocolate milk!
