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:

Ran out of milk? All you need is some almonds and water...
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole raw almonds

- Pour almonds and water into a blender, and process on high until smooth (about 4 minutes).

Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
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!
