Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw almonds soaked overnight
  • 4 cups filtered water
  • 4 pitted dates
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Place 1 cup of almonds into a container and cover them with water. Cover the container and place the almonds in the fridge to soak overnight.
  • The next day, strain the almonds and place them into a high speed blender.
  • Add in the remaining ingredients and blend on high for about 1 minute.
  • Using a nut milk bag over a bowl (or a nut milk/yogurt strainer), pour the blended almond milk into your nut milk bag and massage the bag until all the almond milk has strained out of the bag and all that is left in the bag is almond pulp.
  • Use a funnel to pour the fresh almond milk into a sealable jar and store the milk in the fridge for 4-5 days.

Notes

The almond milk will separate while sitting in the fridge, but just shake the almond milk before using.
