Homemade Almond Milk

Course Drinks
Prep Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw organic almonds unsalted
  • 5 cups filtered water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp Himalayan sea salt
  • *optional: 2 Medjool dates soaked in warm water for 10-15 minutes

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, add the almonds and cover with filtered water (about 3 cups should be enough).
  • Add 1 tsp sea salt (this step is very important as it will help breakdown the enzyme inhibitors and phytic acid).
  • Soak the almonds for 12-24 hours. After soaking is done, strain almonds and rinse really well with cold water.
  • Add almonds to high powered blender and cover with 5 cups of filtered water. Blend on high for 2 minutes.
  • Have a bowl pre-prepared with a nut milk bag. If you do not have one, use a large dish cloth.
  • Slowly pour the almond milk mixture into a bag, then gather up and squeeze out all the liquid.
  • Once all the liquids are strained, take remaining pulp and set aside to dehydrate.
  • Take the strained milk and add back to blender. Add in dates, vanilla and Himalayan sea salt and blend for 1 minute until combined.
  • Pour into a glass bottle and store in your fridge for 5-6 days!
