Get the Recipe: How to Make Almond Milk
Homemade almond milk is creamy, healthy, and it can be customized to your own tastes and preferences. Here’s how to make almond milk at home!
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 3 ½ cups cold filtered water
- 1 tablespoon natural maple syrup (more or less, depending on how sweet you want it)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Place your almonds in water overnight for 18 - 24 hours.
- Drain the soaked almonds and rinse them well. (Discard that water)
- Place your drained almonds in your blender, with your fresh water, maple syrup and vanilla. Blend until creamy or about 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
- Makes about 3 ½ cups.
- You can also strain your milk into a measuring bowl so it's 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.
