Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 4 cups water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Begin by soaking 1 cup of raw almonds in water for at least 4 hours or overnight. This will soften the almonds, making them easier to blend and resulting in a creamier texture.
Drain and rinse the soaked almonds under cool running water.
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked almonds and 4 cups of fresh water.
Blend on high for about 2-3 minutes, or until the almonds are completely broken down and the liquid appears milky.
Place a nut milk bag or a clean, thin dish towel over a large bowl. Pour the blended almond mixture into the bag or towel.
Carefully gather the edges of the bag or towel and squeeze the mixture to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the almond pulp or save it for another use.
Return the strained almond milk to the blender and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, 0.5 teaspoon of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Blend the mixture again briefly to combine the added ingredients.
Transfer the almond milk creamer to a clean glass jar or bottle with a lid and refrigerate it. It can be stored for up to 5 days.
Shake well before each use, as natural separation may occur.
