Almond Milk Recipe

Make Your Own Fresh Almond Milk

I Love making my own Almond Milk.  It’s So Easy to do & tasty.  Store bought stuff tastes like crap in my opinion and I think you will agree once you have tasted your own.

Recipe

1 cup raw almonds soaked (cover with water and soak overnight or for faster soak, cover with boiling water and soak 2 hours; then drain)

4 cups filtered water

2 Medjool dates (remove seed)

Cover almonds with water and soak overnight in refrigerator.  Next day, drain & rinse.  Then, Add almonds, 4 cups filtered water, & 2 Medjool Dates (I keep mine in freezer) in blender.   Adds just a touch of sweetness. Blend well on high speed; I use liquify setting.  Strain milk & store in quart mason jar. I use my banana stand since my nut milk bag is torn.  Nut milk bag would be better. 

Milk stores well refrigerated for about 3 to 4 days.  I usually make mine every three days.  
 
After storing, you may notice how the milk separates. Give the milk a good shake each time before using.

Yep, it is that easy! 

Save almond pulp, spread on cookie sheet, place in oven 150 to 200 degrees for a few hours until dried.  Makes good nutty crusts for deserts like cheesecake type pies or add to bread recipes.  You can use coffee grinder to create almond flour for many recipes.  No waste.

*You make substitute cashews for almonds and make cashew milk. 

*For a faster soak of almonds - cover almonds with boiling water and let stand to soak for 2-4 hours.

I buy my milk bags from Amazon, click the link below to get yours.  Amazon has the best deals.  I had to order another set, seems my dog decided to chew my other ones...lol  This is an affiliate purchase, which does not cost you one cent more, but I do get a commission.  So, if you do buy, thank you.
