Ingredients

1 cup raw almonds
4 cups water

Instructions

Soak the almonds with 2 cups of water overnight or for at least 8 hours.
Drain and rinse soaked almonds thoroughly.
Add almonds and water to a blender. Blend on high for 1–2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
1 cup raw almonds, 4 cups water
Strain through a nut milk bag or fine mesh strainer into a bowl or pitcher.
Store in a clean glass container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Shake well before use.

Notes

Use raw, unsalted almonds (not roasted or salted) for the best taste and creaminess.
If you forget to soak, you can still make it by blending longer - powerful blenders work best for this.
Adjust the water amount to make milk thicker for coffee or creamier for smoothies and cereals.
Always store almond milk in a clean glass container and keep it refrigerated. Shake before using, as natural separation occurs.
