Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Almond Milk Made at Home.
Step 1
To begin your delightful journey of making homemade almond milk, take a bowl and fill it with raw almonds, ensuring they are completely submerged in water.
Step 2
Let these little gems soak for at least 12 hours; this softening process is key to achieving that creamy texture we all love.
Step 3
Once the soaking time is up, drain the water from the almonds and place them in a blender.
Step 4
Add 3 cups of fresh water to the blender, and start blending on low speed for about 10 seconds.
Step 5
Pause for a moment to let everything settle, then switch to high speed and blend for a full 60 seconds until the mixture transforms into a smooth, creamy delight.
Step 6
Now, it’s time to separate the almond milk from the pulp.
Step 7
Grab a cheesecloth or a nut bag, and strain the blended mixture into a bowl, allowing the luscious almond milk to flow through while leaving the pulp behind.
Step 8
You can choose to discard the pulp or save it for another recipe—it's great for adding to smoothies or baking! After that, give your blender a quick rinse and return the strained almond milk to it.
Step 9
Add a splash of agave nectar for sweetness and a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavor.
Step 10
Blend once more until everything is perfectly combined and smooth.
Step 11
And there you have it—your very own homemade almond milk, ready to be enjoyed in smoothies, coffee, or simply on its own!.
