Homemade Almond Milk

Prep time: | Cook time: | Serves 2

  • 1 cup raw almonds
  • 2 cups water (plus more for soaking)
  • Optional:
    – dash of cinnamon
    – splash of vanilla extract or maple syrup
  1. Soak the almonds overnight in a bowl of water — this softens them and makes the milk extra creamy.
  2. In the morning, drain and rinse well.
  3. Add the almonds and 2 cups of fresh water to a blender. Blend on high until smooth and milky (about 1 minute).
  4. Strain through a nut milk bag or a clean cloth into a bowl, squeezing out all the goodness. (Save the pulp for baking or smoothies!)
  5. If you like, stir in a dash of cinnamon, a splash of vanilla, or a swirl of maple syrup for sweetness.
  6. Store in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 3 days. Shake gently before each use — it’s all natural, so separation is normal.
  7. Creamy, calming, and made with care. Perfect in tea, porridge, or straight from the glass.
