Homemade Almond Milk – All-Natural and Healthy

Place almonds in a bowl and cover with 1 inch of cold water. Soak them, uncovered, overnight or up to 2 days. Drain the almonds and rinse under cool running water.

Place 2 cups of almonds in a blender and cover with 3 cups of water. Blend at the highest speed for 2 minutes. At this point the water should be white and opaque. Strain the mixture using a cheese cloth, kitchen towel or sprout bag.

Rinse the blender and pour the milk back in. Add the desired flavorings and sweeteners and blend to combine. Transfer the milk to a glass jar or pitcher.

Place the remaining 1 cup of almonds in the blender and add the remaining 2 cups of water. Blend and strain the mixture.

Transfer the milk into the glass jar or pitcher with the first batch of milk. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Serve almond milk on its own or enjoy it with cookies, cereal or smoothies.
