Soaking Time 12 hours
Course Drinks
Servings 4 cups

Equipment

  • High-speed blender
  • Fine-mesh strainer or nut milk bag

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups organic raw almonds, skin on
  • Purified water to cover plus 4 1/2 cups

Optional Add-ins:

  • 1–2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Soak the almonds: Put the almonds in a bowl and cover them with enough purified water to submerge them by 2 inches. Leave the almonds to soak at room temperature for about 12 hours. For the best results, change the soaking water every 3–4 hours.
  • Drain and rinse: After soaking, pour off the water and rinse the almonds thoroughly under clean water.
  • Blend the almonds: Add the soaked almonds to a high-speed blender with 4 1/2 cups of purified water. Blend on high for about 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth. A small amount of almond pulp will remain.
  • Strain the mixture: Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or nut milk bag into a bowl. Use the back of a spoon or squeeze the bag to press out as much milk as you can. Repeat the process if necessary to achieve a smooth consistency.
  • Add flavorings (optional): Stir in your choice of vanilla extract, maple syrup, or sea salt for added flavor.
  • Store the almond milk: Transfer the milk into an airtight container and refrigerate. Shake or stir before using and consume within one week.
