hoursPrep time is related to the Almonds soaking.
Ingredients
150g of Almonds
1 Litre of water
2 dates – I like to use Medjool, this is optional, you can use alternative sweeteners, for example, agave syrup or you can skip the sweetener
Directions
- Soak the almonds in water for around 8 to 12 hours, or overnight.
- Rinse the almonds.
- Tip the almonds into the blender with 1 litre of fresh water and add your dates. Blend for a few minutes until smooth.
- Once blended secure your nut bag over a bowl and pour the almond mixture into the bag and squeeze. This bit is messy but lots of fun. Keep Squeezing until you get all the liquid out.
- Once done transfer into your bottle and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes
- ** Save your almond pulp – It can be reused in another recipe or you could add it to your smoothies. Almond pulp will keep in the fridge for 5-7 days, alternative you can freeze and save for another time.
- ** You will get a natural separation when the milk is sitting in the fridge, as you do with your commercial brands. All you need to do is give a good shake before pouring.
- ** Some people peel their almonds. I find leaving the skins on helps to reduce the grittiness of the milk.
