My husband has been been drinking almond milk for the last year. I was able to buy some raw, organic almonds through our local co-op and decided to try making our own Almond Milk at home. I was able to find numerous recipes online. The ingredients are simple: pure, filtered water and one cup of raw, organic almonds. Making Almond Milk at home is so easy!
Making Almond Milk
Ingredients:
! cup of almonds
Directions:
The first step was to soak the almonds in the water at least overnight but up to 48 hours. I placed the almonds in a bowl and put them in the refrigerator.
After soaking the almonds they are drained and the water is tossed. I placed the soaked almonds in my blender with four cups of water.
Blend the almond water mixture until frothy.
Pour the contents of the blender through a cheesecloth-lined strainer; I used the bag I use for making jelly. You could also use a piece of cheesecloth to drain the mixture it would work just as well.
Once the liquid has drained through give the bag a squeeze to get every last bit! Just like store bought almond milk this should also be stored in the refrigerator. Use it up in three days and give the jar a shake before each use. Easy!
Remember to only make as much as you and your family would consume in three days. Just make it a habit to make fresh milk twice every week.
