Tips:
• Filtered water should be used instead of tap water as tap water will affect the flavor of the almond milk.
• Strained almond solids can be dried out in the oven at a low temperature (225° F) and used as almond flour in baking recipes.
• Almond milk can be flavored with pure vanilla extract and a small amount of honey if desired.

Ingredients

• 4 cups raw almonds
