Servings: 2 cups (500 ml)
Calories: 40kcal
Ingredients
- ¾ cup raw unsalted almonds
- 2-4 cups water I usually add 3 to 4 cups (750 ml – 1 l)
- 2 Medjool or 4 Deglet Nour dates optional, pitted
Instructions
- Soak the almonds for at least 4-6 hours, preferably overnight.
- Drain and rinse the almonds. You can peel them, but that's not necessary.
- Add the almonds, water, and dates to a blender and blend until smooth. Add more or less water depending on how thick you want your almond milk to be. I usually add 3 to 4 cups of water (750 ml to 1 l).
- Strain the mixture using a nut milk bag, a cheesecloth, a napkin, or a strainer.
- Enjoy it hot or cold. Keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days.
Notes
- Any kind of raw unsalted almonds will do. You can either peel them or not.
- Feel free to add any sweetener you'd like or to make your almond milk unsweetened.
- Some people like to add a little bit of salt to their almond milk to enhance the flavor, but I like it better without it.
- Customize it with any ingredients you want to, such as vanilla extract, cocoa powder, or ground cinnamon.
