Ingredients
- PLAIN ALMOND MILK
- Raw almonds soaked overnight in cold water*- 1 cup
- Drinking water- 5 cups
- Salt- 1/4 tsp.
- Dates pitted- 3
- Vanilla extract- 1 tsp.
- Vanilla powder- 1/2 tsp.
- FOR CHOCOLATE MILK

Instructions
- In a blender blend together soaked almonds, water, dates, vanilla extract and vanilla powder sugar on high speed for 2-3 minutes.
- Using a cheesecloth or a nut milk bag, strain out the pulp. If you use a cheesecloth, simply lay it over a large bowl, pour the almond mixture, gather up the cheesecloth into a ball and compress it firmly to get the most out of your mixture. Transfer the pulp into a zip log bag and store, you can use it for adding in cookies.
- Transfer almond milk to a bottle or a jar and refrigerate. You can store it in an airtight container for 4-5 days in the fridge or freeze it for 2-3 months.
- Almond drink tends to separate, that's why always stir it before drinking.
- Enjoy the silky-smooth homemade almond milk!
Notes
- I recommend to soak almonds for 1-3 days. The longer you soak the raw almonds, the creamier your milk will be.
