I've been making homemade almond milk using this recipe. It is actually quite easy, and quite cost effective when you have thirsty little girls like I do!
(The only thing I did not have on hand was a milk bag, which I purchased on Amazon.)
Almond Milk
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 3.5 cups water (plus more for soaking)
- pinch sea salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla, optional
Place almonds in a bowl. Cover with enough cold water that the almonds are completely submerged. Set aside and let soak overnight (or at least 8 hours).
Drain and rinse the almonds, place in your blender along with 3.5 cups fresh water. Cover and process on the highest setting for one minute. Pour the mixture through a milkbag. Using your hands, squeeze out as much liquid from the almonds as possible. Discard or save the almonds for another use. Whisk in sea salt along with desired flavourings. Pour into a storage container and refrigerate (let sit for a couple hours before using for best flavour) . Stir or shake before use. This should stay good for up to 5 days.
Makes: 3.5 cups
