Ingredients

1 cup raw almonds (soaked overnight in cool water // or 1-2 hours in very hot water)
5 cups filtered water (less to thicken, more to thin)
1-2 whole dates (optional // pitted // or other sweetener of choice // omit for unsweetened)
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional // or sub 1 vanilla bean, scraped per 1 tsp extract // omit for plain)

Instructions

Add your soaked almonds, water, salt, and any additional add-ins (optional) to a blender and blend until creamy and smooth. Keep it running for at least 1-2 minutes so you get the most out of your almonds.
2. Strain using a nut milk bag, Then squeeze until all of the liquid is extracted. Discard pulp, or save for adding to bake goods.
3. Transfer milk to a jar or covered bottle and refrigerate. Will keep for up to 4-5 days, though best when fresh. Shake well before drinking, as it tends to separate.
