Homemade Almond Milk

I've been making almond milk for a while now, but I think I'm going to try to make it more often so I don't have to buy it at the store. That will be one less thing we have to recycle, plus the only ingredients in the homemade version are, you guessed it, almonds and water.

Almond Milk Recipe

1 cup raw almonds
4 cups water

Place almonds in a bowl and cover with water. Soak them overnight. The next day drain the almonds. Then you can choose to peel the almonds or leave the skins on. It's rather time consuming to peel all those almonds, but I do think the finished product looks more tempting. If you don't want to peel though, you'll definitely want to strain the liquid from the pulp once it's blended.

Place the almonds in the blender and add 2 cups of the water. Liquify! Then add the remaining 2 cups of water. Blend, strain, and enjoy! You can do this with other nuts and seeds too, like cashews and pepitas.
