Equipment
blender
Fine strainer or cheesecloth
Glass jar or airtight pitcher for storage
Ingredients
▢
1
cup
raw
shelled almonds
▢
4
cups
water
▢
2-4
tablespoons
maple syrup
adjust to taste
Instructions
Place the raw almonds in a bowl and cover them with water.
Let them soak for at least 4 hours or overnight.
This helps to soften the almonds and makes them easier to blend.
After soaking, drain and rinse the almonds under cold water.
In a blender, add the soaked almonds and 1 cup of water.
Blend on high speed until the almonds are finely ground into a meal-like consistency.
Add the maple syrup to the blender with the almond meal mixture.
With the blender running on high speed, gradually add the remaining 3 cups of water, pouring it in slowly to ensure thorough mixing.
Continue blending for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
Place a fine strainer or a layer of cheesecloth over a large bowl or pitcher.
Pour the blended almond mixture through the strainer or cheesecloth, allowing the liquid to separate from the almond pulp.
Press down on the pulp with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.
Transfer the strained almond milk into a clean glass jar or airtight pitcher for storage.
Store the homemade almond milk in the refrigerator.
It can be kept for up to 4-5 days.
