Preparation
Step 1
1.Put the almonds in a mixing bowl and cover with water. Let sit for at least 6 hours.
2.Strain the almonds and put in a blender with 4 cups of water. (It must be a blender, not a food processor – trust my previous experience on this one.) Blend for a full 2 minutes.
3.Strain the blended mixture into a quart-size canning jar using a fine sieve. Press the solids through with a rubber spatula.
4.Periodically, scrape the solids from the sieve (save them for smoothies) and rinse the sieve to enable more liquid to pass through.
5.Strain the first liquid through the sieve again, this time without pushing the mixture through. What you end up with in that jar is your finished product – DIY Almond Milk!
6.Enjoy within 5 days.
