Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 2 cups filtered water for soaking
- 2.5 cups filtered water for blending
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional for creaminess)
Instructions
Place the raw almonds into a bowl or container and cover them with 2 cups of filtered water. Allow the almonds to soak for at least 8 hours or overnight. This step is crucial for softening the almonds and making them easier to blend.
After soaking, drain and rinse the almonds thoroughly with fresh water to remove any remaining phytic acid.
Place the soaked almonds into a blender along with 2.5 cups of filtered water.
Blend on high speed for about 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is smooth and frothy. The more powerful the blender, the creamier the milk will be.
Place a nut milk bag or a thin, clean kitchen towel over a large bowl or pitcher. Pour the blended almond mixture through the bag or towel to strain out the almond pulp.
Squeeze and wring out the bag or towel to extract as much liquid as possible. This is your fresh almond milk base.
Pour the strained almond milk back into the clean blender. Add the vanilla extract, sea salt, and optional coconut oil for extra creaminess.
Blend on high for another 30 seconds to ensure that all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the creaminess is enhanced.
Transfer the almond milk creamer to a bottle or jar with a tight-fitting lid. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Shake well before using, as natural separation may occur. Add to your coffee, tea, or any beverage of choice.
