Homemade Almond Milk Recipe - Creamy & Delicious

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup raw almonds (soaked overnight)
  • 4 cups water (filtered)
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract (optional for flavor)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Almonds

    Soak the raw almonds in water for at least 8 hours or overnight.

    This softens the almonds and makes blending easier.
  2. Drain and Rinse

    After soaking, drain and rinse the almonds under cold water.

    Rinsing helps remove any bitterness.
  3. Blend Ingredients

    In a blender, combine the soaked almonds and filtered water. Blend until smooth.

    Blend for 1-2 minutes to ensure a creamy texture.
  4. Strain the Mixture

    Using a nut milk bag or cheesecloth, strain the almond mixture into a bowl, squeezing to extract as much liquid as possible.

    Save the leftover almond pulp for baking or smoothies.
  5. Add Flavor (Optional)

    If desired, stir in vanilla extract for added flavor.

    You can also sweeten it with honey or dates.
  6. Store the Almond Milk

    Transfer the almond milk to a sealed container and refrigerate.

    Use within 3-5 days for best freshness.
