Almond Milk is one of those things I’ve always wanted to try making but didn’t because I thought it was a lot of work. Totally not the case! Now that I’ve made it, I’m never buying store bought again!
All you need is a high speed blender, a nut milk bag, and a few simple ingredients. I got my bag from Amazon and it was only $6 and came with two.
Ingredients: Makes 5 cups
- 1 cup almonds
- 5 cups filtered water (plus more for soaking)
- sprinkle of sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2-3 dates
DIRECTIONS:
- Soak the almonds in water (make sure they are fully covered) overnight or at least for a few hours.
- Drain the almonds and add them to a blender with the 5 cups of filtered water, sea salt, vanilla, and dates.
- Blend all ingredients for two minutes on medium/high.
- Place the nut milk bag in a bowl and pour the mixture into it. Squeeze out all the excess milk.
- Refrigerate and enjoy!
For chocolate almond milk, after getting all the milk from the nut milk bag, pour the milk into the blender again and add:
- 3-4 additional dates
- 1 Tablespoon cacao powder
My husband is a chocolate milk snob but he loves this recipe! Try it out and let me know if you love it 🙂
