Homemade Almond Milk 🥛✨

Fresh, creamy, and free of additives—homemade almond milk is a game-changer! It’s incredibly easy to make and tastes so much better than store-bought versions. Plus, you can customize it with flavors like vanilla, cinnamon, or even a touch of honey.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw almonds (soaked overnight)
  • 4 cups filtered water
  • 1 Medjool date (optional, for sweetness)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Soak the Almonds – Place almonds in a bowl, cover with water, and soak for at least 8 hours (overnight is best). This softens them and makes the milk creamier.
  2. Drain & Rinse – Drain the soaking water and rinse the almonds well.
  3. Blend – Add the soaked almonds, 4 cups of fresh filtered water, dates (if using), vanilla extract, and sea salt to a high-speed blender. Blend on high for 45-60 seconds until smooth and creamy.
  4. Strain – Pour the mixture through a nut milk bag or fine mesh strainer into a bowl. Squeeze or press to extract as much liquid as possible.
  5. Store – Transfer the almond milk to a glass jar or bottle and refrigerate. It stays fresh for 3-4 days—just shake before using!

💡 Tips & Variations

  • Chocolate Almond Milk – Add 1 tbsp cacao powder before blending.
  • Extra Creamy? – Use less water (3 cups instead of 4) for a richer texture.
  • What to Do with the Pulp? – Dry it out and use it in smoothies, baking, or as almond flour!
  • Tools: Weck jar and Ellie’s Nut Milk Bag

Enjoy your fresh, homemade almond milk in coffee, smoothies, cereal, or just as a refreshing drink! 🥛💛
