How to Make Almond Milk at Home

If you love drinking almond milk but have always wondered if there was a package-free option out there (or if you could make it at home), well I’m here to tell you that YES! You can!

Last year, after consuming cartons of packaged almond milk, I decided to look into making my own almond milk at home. It turns out, making almond milk at home is SO easy. Plus, it’s tasty, nutritious and you know exactly what’s in it. Read on below to see how it’s done.

YOU WILL NEED:

• 1 cup almonds

• 4 cups filtered water

• A Nut Milk Bag (I got mine from Ever Eco here)

• Blender

• Glass bottle / container for storing your almond milk

HOW TO MAKE:

1. The day before you want to make almond milk, soak your almonds overnight in water.

2. Blend almonds with 4 cups filtered water.

3. Strain the milk into a large bowl/container using a nut milk bag, squeezing every bit of liquid out leaving the pulp remaining in the bag.

4. Transfer the almond milk into a glass bottle using a funnel & store in the fridge for up to four days.

And.. that’s literally it! Almonds, water, blend and strain. With the leftover almond pulp, you can find plenty of different recipes online to use these up by making protein balls, crackers and other baked goods, so that you get two uses out of your one cup of almonds.

I can’t believe how easy it is to make almond milk at home and once you get a taste of homemade almond milk, it’s unlikely you’ll want to go back!
