How To Make Almond Milk

Almond milk will last for about 3 days in the fridge. It will separate on standing so stir or shake it prior to use. If you wish to drink the milk, I recommend that you blitz one or two dates with the almonds. You can also add vanilla or spices if you desire.
Soak the almonds for up to 48 hours. If it is hot, soak the almonds in the fridge so they don't go funky. If you have forgotten to soak your almonds, make your milk anyway. It will still work, the end result may just be slightly less creamy.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almonds soaked for up to 48 hours
  • 3 - 4 cups filtered water

Instructions

  • Strain and rinse the almonds. Discard the soaking water.
  • Place the almonds in a food processor, blender or Thermomix.
  • Add the water.
  • Blend for at least 2-3 minutes, until the water looks smooth and there are no lumps evident.
  • Use the milk as is or strain through fine material or a nut bag to remove the solids.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Notes

You can use between 3 & 4 cups of water to make the milk. It will not make a significant difference to the end product.
