Almond Milk
Do you have a milk sensitivity? Maybe you just ran out of regular milk and need some for a recipe? Or do you just want to taste something new? Give this a try – it is super easy!
All you need are almonds, water, a blender, a sieve, and some cheesecloth (or tea towel if you’re in a pinch!).
Here are some step by step instructions to make your own almond milk:

Almond Milk
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole raw almonds
- 4 cups water
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- Soak almonds in water for 2-12 hours.
- Pour almonds and water into a blender, and process on high until smooth (about 4 minutes).
- Pour mixture through a mesh strainer, then strain again through a cheesecloth lined strainer. Allow to drain for 10 minutes, then squeeze cloth to extract remaining liquid. Discard solids (or reserve for other uses).
Notes
I’m going to have to try this. Do you have a recipe for coconut milk? Love to have one.
I will get one right away. Watch for an email
Discarding the solids? Cooking with them works for me. I freeze what I don’t use for up to 2 months.
By all means if you can find a use for them, go for it!
Thanks for sharing with us. I had bariatric surgery and find that gf is good to me and am pleased to find that making it homemade taste better and is more economical than store bought. I LOVE YOU. GOD bless.
I love Almond milk & want to make my own,thank you! But I prefer mine unsweetened.
I don’t soak my almonds, instead I boil in water for about a minute, drain and rinse with cold water, pop off the skins and they are ready to be liquified!
