How To Make Almond Milk or Cashew Milk<\/strong>
\n(vegan, dairy-free)<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

Prep Time: 5 mins\u00a0 Total Time:5 mins\u00a0 Yield: 1 quart<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Make your own homemade almond milk in just 5 minutes! <\/strong><\/span>
\nThis is way\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>cheaper than the store-bought version, has zero
\npreservatives, and additives <\/span>and tastes much better too!
\nPlus is naturally gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Before you go to the trouble of soaking and grinding<\/span>
\nyour own almonds, I strongly recommend buying<\/span>
\na bag of almond flour. The best price for it is at Costco.<\/span>
\nIt is sold in smaller bags that get pricy from Bob’s Red Mill<\/span>
\nor on Amazon. You are only buying ground blanched<\/span>
\nalmonds, so think of the price per pound of almonds to<\/span>
\ndetermine if you’re seeing a fair price.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n


\nINGREDIENTS<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
1 cup almonds or cashews soaked overnight in filtered water,
\nand strained<\/span><\/div>\n
4 cups filtered water<\/span><\/div>\n
2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional)<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

1 tablespoon vanilla extract (optional)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

INSTRUCTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Rinse and strain the soaked almonds or cashews, and then
\ncombine them together\u00a0<\/span>with 4 cups of filtered water in the bowl
\nof your high-speed blender.<\/span><\/div>\n
Blend on high for 1 minute until you get a smooth, creamy and
\nfrothy milk.\u00a0<\/span>Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract if using, and
\nblend for another 10\u00a0<\/span>seconds until everything is mixed well. Pour
\nthe milk through a nut milk bag\u00a0<\/span>or a fine-mesh strainer to get get
\nrid of the almond pulp. Transfer the milk\u00a0<\/span>to sterilized glass jars and
\nstore in the refrigerator for up to 4 to 5 days.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

\nNOTES<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
Why Soak the Almonds Overnight?
\nIn order to fully activate the enzymes in\u00a0<\/span>almonds (or other nuts) <\/span><\/div>\n
and making them easier to digest and creating a <\/span>more nutritious
\n<\/span><\/span>milk, it\u2019s best to soak them for at least 12 hours or overnight.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Soaking also saturates the almonds from inside out, which
\nresults in a\u00a0<\/span>creamier, silkier mixture and leaves less pulp behind.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Unsweetened Almond Milk: Some savory recipes call for
\nunsweetened\u00a0<\/span>non-dairy milk (in the case of\u00a0 crustless spinach
\nquiche, or a savory\u00a0<\/span>bread). To make unsweetened almond milk,
\nsimply blend the soaked <\/span>almonds with the filtered water and strain
\nas per the recipe.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
4:1 Magic Ratio: A quick tip for making nut milks is to use a ratio of
\n4 parts <\/span>water to 1 part soaked nuts. In case you wish to make a <\/span><\/div>\n
smaller batch of <\/span>almond milk (to prevent it from turning bad too quickly,
\nespecially if you\u2019re\u00a0<\/span>the only one drinking it), or wish to make a larger
\nbatch of milk, all you need\u00a0<\/span>to remember is 4:1 and you can make as
\nmuch or as little as you wish!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Don\u2019t Skip the Straining: Straining homemade nut milk is essential\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
because of all the pulp that is left behind during the blending process.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
For the creamiest and silkiest results, I highly recommend using a nut\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
milk bag for straining (especially if you plan on making homemade\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
almond milk frequently). If you don\u2019t own a nut milk bag, the next best\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
alternative would be a fine-mesh strainer.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
