Scale
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 4 cups water
- Optional: 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Place almonds in a bowl and soak with 2 cups of purified water overnight. The longer almonds soak, the creamier the milk will be; I soak mine for 20 hours.
- Drain water and place almonds in a strainer. Run cold water over almonds and ensure they are well rinsed. Wash measuring cup and strainer; and set aside for later use.
- Place almonds in a blender, add 2 cups of filtered water and honey, and blend for about 2-3 minutes or until almonds have broken down completely.
- Place strainer over the measuring cup and line a cheesecloth on top of the strainer. Pour almond mixture into the strainer, and use a spoon to help strain the almond milk through the cheesecloth. Grab the edges of the cheesecloth to enclose the almond mixture tight, and squeeze for almond milk to come through.
- Transfer almond milk into a jar with a lid and refrigerate.
