I read an article the other day that gave me the sudden urge to finally try making my own. I mean, why not? So back to the grocery store to grab my almonds! I decided to get creative and make a lightly sweeter version too, Maple Almond milk :)
Recipe: Almond Milk
1 cup almonds
2 cup water
(don't be too overwhelmed with ingredients :P )
Directions:
Put your almonds and water together in a large cup. Leave it for 24 hours. Once 24 hours have passed, pour out the water and rinse the almonds. In your blender or food processor (or cup because I used an emersion blender) place the almonds and a new fresh 2 cups of water. Blend it until it reaches your desired consistency. With a cheese cloth (or a clean hand towel..) slowly pour the mixture into a clean glass and squeeze out all the liquid. I decided to add a tbsp of maple syrup just for a little sweetness! I couldn't believe how great it tasted! Much better than store bought. With a little planning I'll be making sure this stays in the refrigerator on a regular basis!

Were the alomds raw or cooked?
This time I used cooked .. My usual grocery store didn't have raw almonds but next time I will try raw :)
I make this with 3 - 3.5 cups of water and it still comes out fairly creamy (makes those almonds go a bit further, otherwise it can get a bit spendy!).
Also, get yourself a nut milk bag! Makes straining it super easy and you will laugh everytime you use it.
