I saw this on facebook tonight and had to grab the recipe. It's supposed to be so much healthier than buying almond milk at the store because of the chemicals that is used in it. It's also cheaper.

Almond Milk
  • 1 cup raw almonds
  • water for soaking nuts (Soak overnight)
  • 3 cups pure water
  • 2 dates (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla (optional)

Drain the water from the almonds and discard. Blend the 3 cups of water, almonds and dates until well blended and almost smooth.

Strain the blended almond mixture using a washcloth, cheesecloth, or other strainer.

Homemade raw almond milk will keep well in the refrigerator for three or four days.

  Between this recipe and the other related recipes, I ought to find something that I like.  I definitely must try this.
