DIY ALMOND MILK (PLANT-BASED NONDAIRY BEVERAGE)

It is a wonder to think about how do you get milk from almonds or any nut for that matter. Almonds and cashews happen to be my favorite nuts for making plant-based nondairy beverages. Both versions are quick to make, have a naturally sweet flavor, and taste divine with almond flour cookies, bakery style chocolate chip cookies, and these healthy 3-ingredient brownies. The key to the best almond milk recipe is to soak the nuts first in order to soften them and be able to extract the juices, creaminess and nutrients.

TIME FOR SOAKING RAW ALMONDS

How long do the almonds soak in water? It is best to soak them for 6-8 hours or overnight for the softest texture. This makes the almonds blend to a smooth consistency. I prefer the overnight way because then it only takes 10 minutes to make homemade nondairy milk and you really don’t have to wait for anything.

MAKE YOUR OWN ALMOND MILK

Here is a visual for diy almond milk. Follow the steps under the image. I have also included in the recipe additions for making milk sweet. Sweet milk is my kids favorite for drinking but I love to love drinking this plain, it is just so scrumptious and creamy!

STEP 1. Soak the oats for 6-8 hours or overnight. Cover lightly with a nut bag or lid as it the almonds set. Before use drain the water and rinse off the soot from the nuts. STEP 2. Add the almonds to a high powered blender (or I highly recommend a Vitamix!) with fresh filtered water. STEP 3. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute. STEP 4. The milk will be nice and foamy and ready to strain to a smooth consistency. Straining the milk in a nut bag removes the meat and fibers of the almonds. STEP 5. Place the nut bag over a medium bowl. Pour the mixture into the bag and lift and squeeze the bag with your hands to remove as much liquid as possible. Keep squeezing as it may take a few times. You can reserve this for adding into baked goods. If you want to sweeten the milk add it here. Pour the milk back into the blender and mix pitted dates and vanilla extract and blend until there are no longer visible pieces. You can also use maple syrup or honey to sweeten the milk in place of dates. STEP 6. Using a funnel transfer the almond milk to a glass jar, pitcher or container to save. Enjoy this milk served chilled.
