Homemade Almond Milk

Hello everyone! I hope you each are having a great day so far! My day started with a great 5am session at the gym!

I do not know about you, but at my household we go through at least 6 liters (approximately 1.5 gallons) of Organic Almond Milk a week. My husband and I have decided to make our own because we know it only contains almonds, no added chemicals and ingredients.

This was our first time to make some.

Things you will need:

-A bowl or pitcher
-Ultra Fine cheesecloth (I got mine from Amazon)
-Blender (we use a Vitamix)



Ingredients:

-1 cup raw almonds (soaked overnight for at least 8 hours)
-4 cups water
-1 teaspoon vanilla


Steps:

1.Soak the almonds overnight
2. Rinse almonds until water runs clear.
3. Add almonds and water to blender
4. Blend for about 2 minutes
5. Pour through cheesecloth into container
6. Squeeze cheesecloth till no more liquid comes out
7. Add vanilla
8. Refrigerate

This milk will last for 3 days in the refrigerator, if you do not drink it all before then! :)


Creamy Goodness




There you go, it is that simple! You just made homemade almond milk.


Until next time, I hope you have a blessed day!
