Homemade Almond Milk

Author: Detoxinista.com

Prep time:  10 mins

Total time:  10 mins

Serves: 4 cups

A creamy alternative to dairy milk, which can be ready in less than 10 minutes!

Ingredients

• 1 cup almonds, soaked 4-6 hours and rinsed well
• 4 cups filtered water

Instructions

1. Combine all of the ingredients in a blender, and blend until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute in a high-powered blender.
2. Strain the "milk" through a nut-milk bag or cheese cloth, squeezing well to extract the extra liquid. You can save the remaining almond pulp for another recipe, or discard.
3. Store in the fridge, in a sealed container, for up to 4 days.

Notes

Note: For an extra-special treat, try adding 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, 1 tablespoon of vanilla, and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup to the mixture before blending. The resulting almond milk is extra-creamy, sweet, and irresistible!
