Almond Milk

makes 6 cups of rich and creamy almond milk (for a lighter version, add 2 more cups water, or dilute at serving time)  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups raw almonds organic
  • 6 cups filtered water
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1 or 2 medjool dates pits removed (alternatively, use a couple teaspoons sweetener of choice like honey, agave, or maple syrup)
Instructions

  1. Soak almonds overnight in water with a pinch of sea salt. When ready, rinse almonds and discard the soaking water.

  2. If you have a large-capacity blender, like a Vitamix, measure 6 cups fresh water into the pitcher and add the soaked almonds. If you have a smaller blender, work in two batches. Add the date(s) (or sweetener of choice) and blend on high for a minute. Pour through a nut milk bag, cheesecloth, or a fine-holded strainer into a bowl.

  3. Transfer to glass jars and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
