All-Natural Almond Milk Recipe

So easy, I can do it.

This recipe makes 2 cups of almond milk.

  1. Tools You’ll Need:
  2. Ingredients
    1. Steps

Tools You’ll Need:

  • Blender
  • Nut milk bag (recommended) or cheese cloth

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of organic almonds
  • 6 cups of filtered water
  • 1.5 tablespoons of honey (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon (or to taste)
  • pinch of salt

Steps

We’ll start by blanching the almonds.

  1. Bring 4 ish cups of filtered water to a boil.
  2. Add almonds to boiling water and boil for 45-60 seconds.
  3. Strain and run cold water through the almonds until they are room temperature
  4. Optional Step for Almond Flour – At this stage you should be able to pinch the almond skin and will slip right off. Aside from being satisfying, it will allow you to save the almond grit/pulp for almond flour (you can use it to make cookies or pancakes and shit).
  5. Add your blanched almonds, honey, cinnamon, pinch of salt and 2 cups of water to your blender.
  6. Close the lid and blend for 15 seconds or until the almonds are broken up into a grit.
  7. Run the milk through your nut sack nut milk bag/cheese cloth into a container or some sort and wring it well.
  8. Store your almond milk in the fridge, should be good for 3-5 days.
  9. Optional Step for Almond Flour – If you decided to save the white grit for almond flour, empty out the contents of the nut milk bag/cheese cloth and dry it out for 24 hours. Then pulverize with a food processor and store it in a fridge.
