Description
An easy recipe for making delicious, creamy, homemade Almond Milk with step-by-step instructions.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almonds
- 4 cups water plus more for soaking
- Pinch of sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon honey, maple syrup or agave (optional)
Instructions
- Soak: Soak the almonds in 2 cups of water or just so that they are well covered. Soak for 6-12 hours.
- Discard the Water: Drain the water and rinse the almonds
- Blend: Place Nuts in a Blender with 4 cups of water, salt, cinnamon and vanilla extract. Blitz on high speed until smooth and frothy, at least one minute or so.
- Drink: You can drink the milk just like this or if you want smooth Almond Milk, line a sieve with Muslin cloth and place the sieve over a large bowl. Pour the Almond Milk in and allow the liquid to strain through. Once most of the liquid has passed through, pull up the edges of the muslin cloth and squeeze the remaining milk out of the muslin cloth.
- Sweeten your milk if you like – add 1 tablespoon (or half) honey, syrup, agave or sugar and stir. Place milk in a clean glass jar or bottle with a lid and store in the fridge. Shake before using. Serve cold.
