Equipment
- Blender
- Cheesecloth or Nut milk bag
Ingredients
- 1 cup almonds
- 4 cups filtered water
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, soak the almonds in water overnight or for up to 24 hours.
- When the almonds have finished soaking, strain and rinse the almonds.
- Add the almonds into the blender along with filtered water and blend for 1-2 minutes, until the almond milk has become creamy and smooth.
- Place the cheesecloth or nut bag overtop of a bowl or large measuring cup and pour half of the almond milk through. Using your hands, squeeze the cheesecloth or milk bag to “milk” the almonds.
- Remove the almond pulp after you cannot squeeze any more milk out of it anymore and repeat the previous step with the second half.
- When done, stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract. Transfer to an airtight jar and store in the fridge for up to 4 days. Shake well before using.
Notes
For creamier almond milk, use less water. For thinner almond milk, use more water.
