Homemade Almond Milk

By Jomamma

The following recipe makes about 1 quart of almond milk.

Ingredients

• 1 cup of raw organic almonds, soaked in filtered water for at least 4 hours (I soak them overnight) to soften them
• 4 cups of water (you can adjust the water to make a thicker or thinner milk).

Preparation

Step 1

Drain the almonds and place them in a blender with 4 cups of water (you can adjust the water to make a thicker or thinner milk).
Blend the almonds and water on high speed for until very well blend. I used the Liquefy setting.
Pour the blended almond milk mixture through a very fine mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth and allow to drain. You can press on the mixture with a spoon to help the liquid come through the strainer. You may need to do several batches depending on the size of your strainer. You can either compost the pulp or save it for use in a recipe.
Your almond milk needs to be stored in the refrigerator, and should stay fresh for about 4-7 days.
