Homemade Almond Milk
Homemade Almond Milk made from Scratch!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup almonds raw, unsalted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
- 2 dates pitted
Instructions
- In a High Powered Blender, like the Blendtec Blender, add water, vanilla extract, almonds, sea salt, and pitted dates. Secure the lid. Then press the “Whole Juice” button for 1 cycle.
- Put the nut milk bag into bowl with pour spout. Pour contents of Blendtec jar into nut milk bag. Tie the drawstring on the nut milk bag. Then squeeze the bag until all the almond milk liquid comes out. Then remove the nut milk bag. Either discard the contents of the bag or reuse the small almond nut particles for another purpose, like an ice cream topping. Then hand wash the nut milk bag with water and dish soap. Rinse and dry completely and your re-usable nut milk bag is ready for your next batch of almond milk.
- Now do a traditional wash and rinse cycle on the Blendtec jar.
- Then pour the remaining liquid from the bowl back into the Blendtec jar. Secure the lid and press “Pulse” button for 3 to 5 times until it's the consistency that you like.
- Then chill, serve and enjoy.

Notes
Note: there will be some froth after the final blend. If you don’t enjoy froth, just wait 2-5 minutes as it settles, then pour into a glass and you can avoid pouring the froth with it.
Please refrigerate the almond milk, which should last 3-5 days. This yields 4 cups, which is perfect for that amount of time.
