Homemade almond milk is extremely easy to make and superior to any store-bought brand available. I began making my almond milk two years ago when I couldn’t find almond milk that was just almonds and water, and most store-bought almond milks are full of additives and preservatives, which can be irritating to the gut. You’ll never be able to return to the store-bought stuff ever again! Homemade almond milk is delicate and slightly floral-like in taste.You’ll never be able to return to the store-bought stuff ever again!
Making almond milk is super easy. Start by soaking plain raw almonds in filtered water for a minimum of 8 hours or overnight in the fridge. Once the almonds are soaked and slightly soft, drain and rinse the almonds, then add to a blender with two and a half cups of filtered water. Turn the blender on high and blend for about 2 mins, then take your nut milk bag and squeeze the milk out of the bag. Pour the almond milk into a glass bottle and store it in the fridge for three to five days. Some separation will naturally occur, so give the almond milk a good shake before using it. If you wish to flavor the almond milk, you may use a pinch of sea salt, cinnamon, or vanilla while blending the milk!
When practicing food combining, almond milk is categorized as a neutral when consumed in small amounts like adding to coffee, etc. I find almond milk combines well with nuts and seeds like chia or flax seeds. I love to use the almond milk in chia seed pudding or add it to my green protein shake!
Easy homemade almond milk that is super simple to make. Enjoy in your coffee or wherever else you would use traditional store-bought almond milk!
Soak almonds in the refrigerator for 8 hours. Blend in a high speed blender (like a vitamix) on high for 2 minutes. Strain through a nut milk bag and try to squeeze the pulp as dry as possible. You can save your almond pulp to add to cookies or muffins! Pour into a container and store in the fridge for up to 5 days!
**Note – Separation may occur, make sure to shake well!
