Homemade Almond Milk
1 c raw almonds
2 dates
3 1/2 c water (3 c for creamier almond milk)
1/2 t alcohol free vanilla
pinch of salt
nut milk bag or cheese cloth (nut milk bag is WAY more convenient)
Blend all ingredients in a blender (preferably a vitamix) until completely liquified, pour into nut milk bag and strain out all of the liquid. I usually let it drip for a while, then squeeze out what is left in there. I wish I could find a good use for all of the pulp, but I really haven’t. It is pretty dry and tasteless. I’ve tried some recipes that I found online and it's fun to experiment.
