I have found that making my own almond milk is so easy and super beneficial
Home made Almond Milk
1 cup of almonds
5 cups of filtered water
2 tsp maple syrup or vanilla
nut bag or cheese cloth
strainer
Blender
Take the cup of almonds and soak them for 12 - 24 hours preferred if you need them sooner try to go at least 4 . Then strain them to get the soaking water off and rinse them. In a blender place 5 cups of filtered water, add the almond and maple syrup or vanilla. blend until there are not chunks of almonds and everything looks smooth. Pour into either a nut bag or a strainer with a cheese cloth, straining the milk into a bowl. Keep the almond meal ! you can dry it out. Separate into bottles and refrigerate. makes about 1 liter.
Take your Almond meal and place in on a stone or parchment lined pan and place it in a low over. ( 200) for a good 4-5 hours till it dries out. Makes for a wonderful flour substitution in many baked goods.

On a side note I know some people blanch their almonds first so that is an option but I don't. Don't even know how to
Been wondering how almond milk is made. I had no idea it was so simple! Thanks :)
