Almond Milk Thumbnail

Almond milk is a plant-based milk made from ground almonds.

It is a good dairy-free alternative for those who are lactose intolerant, vegan, or looking for a low-calorie option.  

It is also a good source of Vitamin E, it is low fat and can be used in baking, cooking, and as a milk replacement in cereal, smoothies, coffee and tea.

Prep Time 2 hours
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 2 hours 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Almonds
  • 1 cup Water (for soaking)
  • 3 cups Water (for blending)

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Nut Milk Bag
  • cylinder container (to hold bag)
  • Large Bowl
  • Measuring Cups

Instructions

  1. Soak Almonds in water for at least 2 hours.
  2. Pour soaking water off of almonds.  The liquid maybe cloudy, rinse the almonds with fresh water until clear.
  3. Put the Almonds into blender and add fresh water.
  4. Blend for about 2-3 minutes. If you have a high speed blender, blend for about 1-2 minutes.  Experiment with your blending times.
  5. Pour mixture into nut bag and squeeze.  This maybe the hardest part.
  6. When you are finished the pulp will not be dry. But, it will not be dripping.

Notes

Almond Milk will separate while sitting in the refrigerator.  Just shake or stir it up. This is normal, all non-dairy milks separate.

This is why you always see Almond Milk in cartons in your grocery store and the packaging says to shake before using.
