Pure Homemade Organic Almond Milk

Ingredients:

• 1 cup raw, unsalted organic almonds

• 4 cups filtered water (plus more for soaking)

  
  

Instructions:

Soak the Almonds:

Place the almonds in a bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak for 8–12 hours (or overnight). This softens the almonds and makes them easier to blend and digest.

Rinse and Drain:

After soaking, drain and rinse the almonds thoroughly under cool water.

Blend:

Add the soaked almonds and 4 cups of fresh filtered water to a high-speed blender. Blend on high for about 1–2 minutes, until the almonds are fully broken down and the liquid looks creamy.

Strain:

Pour the mixture through a nut milk bag, cheesecloth, or a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl or pitcher. Squeeze or press firmly to extract as much milk as possible.

Store:

Transfer the almond milk to a clean glass jar or bottle. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days. Shake well before each use, as natural separation may occur.

Optional Tip:

You can use the leftover almond pulp in smoothies, baking, or to make almond flour once it’s dried.

Enjoy! 🍽️
