Homemade Almond Milk

Marvelous Monday to you!

I am super, SUPER excited about this recipe for today!  Almost as excited as I was about making Homemade Mayonnaise.


I am really excited about this recipe for a number of reasons. First reason being, it doesn't contain all those nasty preservatives and "natural flavors" that really aren't all that natural.  Second reason being, it's so much cheaper than buying a carton of Almond Milk at the store. Third reason, its very gratifying making something completely from scratch.

Get this, a carton of Almond Milk (32 oz) is $4.39, this homemade Almond Milk (32 oz) is $2.09.  
Pretty great huh? I'd say so.


Ingredients:
- 1 cup Raw Almonds
- 4 cups filtered water

Directions:
- Soak Almonds in filtered water for at least 24 hours
- Once Almonds are fully soaked, drain the water.
- Place almonds in a high powered blender and add 4 cups of fresh filtered water.
- Blend together.
- Strain almond milk through cheesecloth (a towel will do just fine)
- Store in airtight container for up to three days.


Cheers!
