Make Your Own Almond Milk
Ingredients
- 1 cup almonds
- 3-4 cups water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or 2-3 dates
Preparation
Soak the almonds in water for at least 4 hours.
Optional: Peel the almonds for a smoother consistency.
Add the soaked almonds, 3-4 cups of water, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon maple syrup or 2-3 dates to a blender.
Blend for about 90 seconds.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag to separate the liquid from the pulp.
Tips
Do not blend for too long to avoid warming the mixture, which can affect the quality.
