Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 3 cups
Ingredients
  • 1 cup raw almonds
  • 3 cups water
  • Optional: ½ tsp pure vanilla extract, ¼ tsp sea salt
Instructions
  1. Soak almonds in 3 cups water for at least 8 hours to overnight.
  2. Drain and rinse the almonds. Place in blender with 3 cups of clean water and any additional flavors.
  3. Blend on high for 3 minutes, until smooth and fully blended.
  4. Over a large jar or bowl, strain the almond milk in a nut milk or cheesecloth. Make sure to squeeze as much milk out as possible!*
  5. Store almond milk in the fridge for up to 5 days.**
Notes
* The almond pulp left over is extremely useful. You can freeze it and use it in smoothies, cookies, raw nut balls, or even crackers. I adapted Twist of Lemon's recipe.
** The milk will separate. Just shake it before using.
