How to Make Almond Milk Almond Drink Base

  1. Combine 1 cup raw almonds, 4 cups filtered water, and a pinch of salt in a high-powered blender.
  2. Blend on low speed for 1 minute, then increase to high speed and blend for another 3 minutes, or until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Line a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth over a large bowl. Pour the almond mixture through the sieve, gently pressing on the solids to extract as much milk as possible.
  4. Refrigerate your homemade almond milk for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. It will keep for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
