Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Raw Almonds
  • 6 ½ Cups Water divided
  • ¼ Teaspoon Salt
Cups - Metric

Instructions

  • Start by soaking 1 cup of raw almonds in cold water overnight or up to 2 days for creamier milk.
  • Drain and rinse the soaked almonds with fresh water.
  • Blend the almonds with 4 cups of fresh filtered water in a high-speed blender until smooth.
  • Strain through a nut milk bag or clean dish towel into a large bowl.

Notes

  • Use a high-powered blender for the smoothest results.
  • Don't squeeze the nut milk bag too hard - gentle pressure prevents bitterness.
  • Start with less water if you prefer creamier milk.
  • Save the leftover almond meal for baking projects.
