HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN ALMOND MILK

Almond milk is plentiful on the shelves of grocery stores these days, but have you seen the ingredients? Most have added controversial preservatives and emulsifying ingredients that may irritate your digestive tract. Also, it tastes way better made from scratch.. and it's kind of fun!

Ingredients;

• 1 cup almonds, soaked over night
• 4 cups (filtered) water
• 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
• pinch of Himalayan or sea salt
• pinch of cinnamon (optional)
• 1 tsp. maple syrup (optional)

Method;

• Drain and rinse the soaked almonds
• Add all ingredients in to a blender and blend for 2 minutes, until almond are very well ground.
• Strain the ingredients from the blender through a nut bag or cheesecloth (a reusable produce bag also works great!).
• Keep the almond milk refrigerated. It will stay fresh in the fridge for about 3 days. Shake well to mix before each use and use just as you would any other milk.
