You can make your own almond milk at home and avoid many of the additives that are present in commercially produced almond milk.

Homemade almond milk

Items you will need to make your own almond milk

Directions

Soak the almonds overnight in enough water to cover them in a mason jar or comparable container at room temperature
In the morning, drain the soaked almonds and place them in the blender with the 3 cups of filtered water
Blend the almond mixture thoroughly
Hold the nut milk bag over the center of the large bowl
Pour about a third of the blended almond mixture into the bag and squeeze with your hands
The bowl will begin to fill up with almond milk and you will see almond pulp remaining in the bag
Remove the pulp from the bag* and continue the process until all of the blended mixture has been turned into almond milk
Refrigerate the almond milk and enjoy within 3-5 days

*Tip: The almond pulp that remains after the process is nutrient rich and can be saved to use in other recipes.
