Rinse the raw almonds thoroughly under running water.
Place the almonds in a bowl and cover with water. Soak overnight or for at least 8 hours to soften them.
Drain and rinse the soaked almonds, then transfer them to a blender.
Add the raw sunflower seeds, unsweetened shredded coconut, and 4 cups of cold water to the blender.
Blend on high speed for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth.
Place a nut milk bag, fine mesh strainer, or cheesecloth over a large bowl or pitcher. Carefully pour the blended mixture through it to strain out the pulp, squeezing to extract as much liquid as possible.
Discard the leftover pulp or save it for another recipe, such as low-carb baking.
Pour the strained milk back into the blender and add the vanilla extract, powdered erythritol, and a pinch of salt.
Blend again for 10 to 15 seconds to thoroughly combine all the flavors.
Transfer the finished milk into a clean glass jar or bottle and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Shake well before serving.
