Homemade Almond Milk


If you are a fan of almond milk,  try this simple recipe at home. It's delicious and relatively inexpensive to make many batches. I love using my fresh almond milk in my coffee and smoothies. Also, the almond meal left over from the milk makes fabulous muffins! 

Directions: 
Soak one cup of almonds in four cups water for 24 hours. 

Next day:
Strain the almonds.
Put almonds and four cups fresh water in blender.
Blend for two minutes.
Use a cheese cloth to strain the almond milk.
((What is left in the cheese cloth is your almond meal. Squeeze out excess milk, let it dry, and then store in ziplock bag in fridge.))

Options:
Add vanilla extract, honey, and cinnamon to sweeten your milk 

Stay tuned for great smoothie and muffin recipes using the almond meal and milk!
