Easy homemade almond milk
This homemade almond milk is surprisingly easy to make and a wonderfully nourishing alternative to cow’s milk. Almond milk builds strength and energy without weighting you down. Note: The almond milk we buy at the store is often made with only 7 almonds/cup or 30 calories/cup. The one you make at home, can be much more nourishing with more calories a cup (200/cup), and therefore, more nutritional density. Proof that calories are not always bad!

Serves 10 l Difficulty: very easy l Prep time: 10min l Total time: 20min
Ingredients
1 cup raw/roasted almonds
3 cups filtered water
Pinch mineral salt
1 nut milk bag (we love this one)
Steps
Overnight, soak almonds in filtered water.
Drain water and roughly peel almonds (peeling is optional).
Blend almonds, 3 cups of water and the pinch of mineral salt until smooth.
Pour almond and water mixture through a cheesecloth or a nut bag into a bowl or serving container.
Discard the pulp or save for cooking a macaron (Yoom Recipe). Tip: Almond pulp can smell bad when it gets sour so toss it in an individual plastic bag before throwing it in your kitchen’s trashcan.
