Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 4 cups Filtered water
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Place the raw almonds into a bowl and cover them with 2 cups of filtered water. Allow them to soak overnight or for at least 8 hours to soften.
After soaking, drain and rinse the almonds thoroughly under running water.
Add the soaked almonds and 2 fresh cups of filtered water to a blender. Blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
Prepare a nut milk bag or a clean cheesecloth over a bowl or large measuring cup. Pour the almond mixture through the strainer, squeezing well to extract all the liquid. Discard the pulp or save it for another recipe.
Stir in the vanilla extract, maple syrup, and salt into the almond milk. Adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup, if desired.
Pour the almond milk creamer into a sealed container and refrigerate. It will last for up to 5 days.
Shake well before use, as natural separation may occur.
