Naturally Sweet Almond Milk

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Naturally Sweet Almond Milk.

1. Step 1

   Start your journey to homemade almond milk by placing a generous amount of almonds in a bowl and covering them with cool water.

2. Step 2

   Find a cozy spot away from direct sunlight and let those almonds soak for anywhere between 12 to 48 hours.

3. Step 3

   This soaking process is key to unlocking their creamy potential! Meanwhile, in another bowl, take some dried dates and let them soak in 1 cup of water for about an hour.

   Once the soaking time is up, drain and rinse the almonds using a colander, giving them a good wash to remove any residue.

   Now, it’s time to blend! Transfer the rinsed almonds to your blender, and add the soaked dates along with their soaking water, a splash of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt for flavor.

7. Step 7

   Pour in 4 cups of fresh water to bring it all together.

8. Step 8

   Blend the mixture, starting on low speed for about 10 seconds, then gradually crank it up to high speed and blend for an additional 90 seconds until it’s beautifully smooth.

   To separate the milk from the pulp, place a nut bag or cheesecloth over a bowl and pour the blended almond mixture into it.

10. Step 10

    Let it strain for about 10 minutes, allowing the creamy goodness to flow through.

11. Step 11

    For that extra touch, gently squeeze the nut bag or cheesecloth to extract any remaining milk.
