Ingredients
Instructions
- Soak the almonds
Place the raw almonds in a bowl and soak them in water overnight (about 8–12 hours). This helps soften the almonds and improves the texture of the milk. - Rinse the almonds
Drain the soaking water and rinse the almonds with fresh water. - Blend
Add the soaked almonds and 3 cups of filtered water into a blender. Blend for about 1–2 minutes until smooth. - Strain
Pour the mixture through a nut milk bag, cheesecloth, or a fine strainer to separate the almond pulp from the milk. - Add vanilla
Stir in the natural vanilla extract and optional sweetener. Mix well. - Serve or store
Pour the vanilla almond milk into a clean bottle and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
