Ingredients
- Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
- 1 cup Raw Almonds soaked overnight in cool water rinsed and drained
- 4 cups Filtered Water
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Pinch Salt
- Sweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
- 1-2 Dates more to taste
Instructions
- Soak almonds overnight in the water.
- Using a high-speed blender, add soaked almonds, fresh water, salt, vanilla, and any additional additives (i.e. dates). Blend for around 1 - 2 minutes, or until creamy, smooth and all almonds have been liquified.
- Using a nut-milk bag, or cheesecloth, strain milk. Lay cheesecloth over top a 4 cup measuring cup, or medium mixing bowl, pour mixture, gather corners, lift up, and squeeze until all liquid extracted. Discard or save pulp for further use. Transfer milk to an air-tight glass mason jar, or bottle, and refrigerate.
Notes
Don't forget to shake well before use as it will separate when rested. // You rinse and drain the water from the soaked almonds as the skin of almonds contains phytic acid, which inhibits the body's ability to absorb nutrients.
