How to Make Almond Milk

I am always blown away by the many companies making almond milk. I have to admit, I am happy to see so many companies making a dairy free option but I am not a lover of some of the stabilizers they use. If you want a preseravtive free almond milk, then making it at home is a HOME RUN! If you have a Vitamix, then you can make your almond milk in a breeze. Easy as 1-2-3.

Almond milk is a great choice for anyone who is looking to lose weight or has a dairy allergy. many go undiagnosed with dairy allergies and suffer with bloating, sinus infections, ear aches, rashes, hives, sleep issues and hormonal imbalances to name a few (I know this happened to me!).

For a great summer treat, you can add berries to your almond milk or simply enjoy it plain. I love to enjoy almond milk over a glass of ice with cinnamon. Yummy!

ALMOND MILK

(Makes 4 Cups)

1 cup raw almonds, soaked for 8 hours

4 cups water

liquid sweetener to taste (optional)

Berries (optional)

BLEND THE ALMONDS.Take your soaked almonds (throw away the soaking water) and place them in a blender. Add the 4 cups of fresh water. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes until the almonds are ground down. Add berries if desired.

SEPARATE THE ALMONDS FROM THE MILK. Pour your almond milk into a nut milk bag* over a large bowl. Squeeze the bag so that the milk flows through the bag and into the bowl. The almond pulp should be left inside the bag.

REFRIGERATE YOUR MILK. Sweeten your milk if desired. Place your milk into a container and place it in the coldest part of the refrigerator. The milk should last 2 to 3 days before spoiling.

*NOTE: Don’t have a nut milk bag? Try a clean, white T-shirt or the leg of a pair of nude pantyhose instead.
