Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
Place raw almonds in a bowl and cover them with water. Allow them to soak for at least 8 hours or overnight for best results.
Drain and rinse the soaked almonds under cold water.
Add the soaked almonds and 2 cups of fresh water into a blender.
Blend on high speed for about 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture is creamy and the almonds are broken down completely.
Place a nut milk bag or a double layer of cheesecloth over a large bowl or jug.
Pour the blended almond mixture through the nut milk bag or cheesecloth. Gently squeeze out all the liquid, leaving behind the almond pulp.
Transfer the almond milk back into the cleaned blender. Add vanilla extract, maple syrup, sea salt, and coconut oil.
Blend again on high speed for another minute until everything is well combined and the creamer is smooth.
Pour the creamer into a clean glass jar or bottle for storage.
Refrigerate and use within 5-7 days. Shake well before each use as separation is natural.
