Yields approximately 2 cups, strained

Super easy

1 cups raw almonds
Filtered water
2 teaspoons sea salt

Almond Milk Directions

Dissolve the sea salt in 1 cup of room-temperature, filtered water and soak the almonds in a jar covered with cheesecloth or a coffee filter for 8 hours or up to 48 hours.

Strain the almonds and replace with the same volume of plain filtered water if it becomes foamy and bubbly. (This is only necessary for a 2-day soaking.)

When ready to make the milk, drain the almonds from the soaking water, rinse and combine them with 2 cups of filtered water in a blender or food processor (processing in batches is recommended).

Blend until milk forms, then strain the meal from the milk. Use or consume the milk within 3 days.
