Homemade almond milk

How many times have I heard that fresh almond milk is sooooooo much better than store-bought? I just discovered that it's true! It also takes less than 15 minutes to make and doesn't include weird ingredients. The best part is all the almond flour it produces that I can later use for baking.

Most recipes call for 1 cup soaked almonds and anywhere from two to four cups of water - it depends on how creamy you like it. Add ingredients like vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg or a pinch of salt to make it even better. If you like it sweet, try adding 4 medjool dates per batch. Have fun with it! Using a nut milk bag to strain the pulp is much easier than battling it out with a strainer or cheese cloth.

Here is a good description of how to make almond milk at home.

If you prefer a thicker, creamier, milk (without gums and thickeners), try heating it: http://www.oneingredientchef.com/thick-almond-milk/
