    How to Make Almond Milk at Home

    almond milk how to make
    It's not any cheaper to make vs. buy. But it sure is way the hell funner to blend and make almond milk at home...

    Almonds: raw vs 24-Hour Soaked

    If ever there was a case for hydration to battle wrinkles in the war on aging, this is it.
    almonds raw vs soaked

    How to Make Almond Milk at Home

    INGREDIENTS

    2 cups raw almonds
    2 cups water for soaking
    2 cups water for blending
    pinch of salt

    DIRECTIONS

    Soak raw almonds in 2 cups of water for 24-48 hours. I soaked mine on the countertop, but if setting the bowl in the refrigerator makes you feel safer,do that.

    Drain water and rinse almonds.

    Blend soaked almonds with 2 cups of fresh water at high speed for about 2 minutes. Pour ground almond/water mix into nut milk bag set over a bowl. Let "milk" drain freely as much as possible, then squeeze bag with hands.

    Season with a tiny pinch of salt. The milk will not taste "salty," but something about the salt there is important.

    Store almond milk in refrigerator and use within 2 days.

      How long with the almond meal last? Do you need to dry it, or can you also refrigerate and store it for cooking?

      It's shelf life is a shorter time than the actual time it takes to make the milk! Sounds like a fun project, though :-)
