Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 2 cups filtered water (for soaking)
- 4 cups filtered water (for blending)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
Place 1 cup of raw almonds in a large bowl or jar. Cover with 2 cups of filtered water, ensuring the almonds are completely submerged.
Allow the almonds to soak for at least 8 hours or overnight to soften them and make blending easier. This also helps remove phytic acid which can interfere with nutrient absorption.
After soaking, drain and rinse the almonds thoroughly under cool water.
Add the soaked and rinsed almonds to a high-speed blender.
Pour in 4 cups of filtered water. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, a pinch of sea salt, and honey if using.
Blend the mixture on high speed for about 2-3 minutes, or until the almonds are pulverized and the liquid looks white and creamy.
Set a nut milk bag or a fine mesh sieve lined with several layers of cheesecloth over a large bowl. Carefully pour the almond mixture into the bag or sieve.
Squeeze and press as much liquid as possible from the pulp. The almond pulp can be saved for other uses such as baking.
Transfer the strained almond milk into a clean glass jar or bottle and refrigerate until chilled.
Shake well before each use. Consume within 3-5 days for optimal freshness.
