Have you ever tried almond milk? Well, if not, you have a wonderful surprise coming. Fresh raw almond milk is delicious and healthy. And not only will it give you nutritious eating for the whole family, but it’s not expensive to make.

You can add fruit such as bananas, strawberries, blueberries, peaches or what ever you enjoy eating. You can even add honey to make it sweeter if you want. Once you get the hang of it, why not play and experiment with all sorts of additional flavors?

Also, don’t throw out the pulp that’s left over from straining the almonds to get the milk. You don’t have to waste anything when you make your own almond milk because that left over almond pulp can be used to make cookies, crumb crusts, porridge, granola, and it can even be used to make breaded crusts, stuffing and dressing in your chicken or turkey Let your imagination flow and be creative.

Now, here’s how to make about a gallon of this wonderful Almond Milk.
First there are a few things you’ll need.

Equipment:
You’ll need a blender or food processor
A sprout bag, mesh bag or cheesecloth for straining
A large bowl to strain into
Depending on how fine you want your milk, you may need a reusable fine wire mesh coffee cone or fine muslin bag for a second straining

Ingredients:
One pound of shelled raw almonds
Optional: a pinch or two of salt to taste (Himalayan salt is healthier)
If you want it sweet, honey or some other sweetener of your choice
Purified water

Directions:

Step One:
Put the almonds into a sprout or mesh bag. Soak almonds overnight in water using around 3 cups of water to every cup of raw almonds making sure there’s enough water to completely cover the almonds.

Step Two:
Drain and rinse the soaked almonds.

Step Three:
Puree the soaked almonds in your food processor or blender with at least 3 cups of purified (drinking) water until it becomes a smooth, thick, frothy puree.

Step Four:
Pour the mixture into the sprout bag, cheesecloth, or strainer over the big bowl.

Step Five:
Now squeeze the almond pulp through the sprout bag extracting the milk. (Don’t throw away the left over almond pulp, put it into a container and refrigerate it to use later for cookies and other recipes that call for almonds.)

Your almond milk is ready to drink. If you wish to flavor it with fruit or sweeten it with honey or stevia, just pour the milk back into your food processor or blender and add the ingredients you desire. This is the step that can be creative and fun. Try adding different fruits, extracts or sweeteners to give you a variety of flavors.
