How to cook deliciously - Homemade Almond Milk

1 . Stage

In a container with a lid, cover raw almonds in filtered water and let soak overnight. The longer the almonds soak, the creamier the almond milk will be. 18 hours is ideal.

2 . Stage

Strain the soaking liquid and give the almonds an extra rinse. They should be plump and about double in size. Add ½ cup of almonds, 2 cups of water, and desired flavorings to a blender or food processor and blend for 1-2 minutes or until almonds are broken down and liquid is frothy and creamy.

3 . Stage

Using a nut milk bag, cheese cloth or a clean thin dish towel, strain the almond pulp from the almond milk. Be sure to squeeze out as much as possible. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
