Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup of almonds
- 2 cups water to soak
- 2–4 cups of water for grinding (see notes)
Instructions
- Cover the almonds with 2 cups of water and leave to soak for a minimum of 12 hours, but up to 48 hours is fine. Drain the soaking liquid and rinse the almonds.
- Put the almonds in a blender and pour in 2 to 4 cups of water. Pulse until the almonds form a coarse meal.
- Pour the ground almonds and water through a nut bag or several layers of cheesecloth to strain out the almonds. Squeeze any remaining “milk” from the ground almonds.
- Store the milk in the fridge and use it within 3 days. The raw almond meal will last for 1 week in the fridge. See the section above for long-term storage options for almond milk and almond meal.
Notes
- Nut bags
 are the easiest way to make almond milk, but a strainer lined with several layers of cheesecloth
will also work.
- I like flavorful almond milk, so I usually only use 2 cups of water for 1 cup of almonds. However, you can dilute almond milk with up to 4 cups of water for 1 cup of almonds.
