Making Almond Milk yourself is so much healthier for you and so simple too! Once you do it yourself you will never drink it from a carton again ! The carton varieties, even if they're labeled "organic" they can be full of chemicals that are toxic to the body . You can make this milk plain with just almonds and water or add a little organic vanilla and /or a couple of dates for sweetness and flavor . Need more ? Double the recipe . This recipe makes approx. 3 cups . We don't generally drink it by the cup although my little princess does on occasion so 3 cups lasts about 4-5 days . I use it in oats, granola , in tea , and my decaf that I have on occasion . Sometimes I pour It over bananas and berries for a snack . I make breakfast puddings and so much more with it . If you want to swig down a whole glass it's super delish ! Just make a bigger batch !
Tools You will need:
A blenderA mesh strainer or milk bag
A glass bowl
A glass jar to store the milk in

3 cups of filtered water1 cup of raw almonds soaked for 4-12 hours ( the longer the better )

Pour through the mesh strainer into the glass bowl pressing down on
the pulp and allowing the milk to go through to the bowl .
( I use a measuring cup type bowl so it's easier to pour into my glass jar)
Pour into a glass jar
(if you don't have a milk jar you can use mason style jars )
