Ingredients for Amazing Almond Milk

  • Almonds
  • 4 cups filtered water
  • 4 Medjool dates (pitted)

How to Make Amazing Almond Milk

  1. Add 1 cup raw almonds to a high-speed blender or food processor.
  2. Blend until the almonds are finely ground into a meal-like consistency.
  3. Add 4 cups of filtered water and 4 Medjool dates (pitted).
  4. Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes, until completely smooth and creamy.
  5. Line a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth over a large bowl. Pour the almond mixture through the sieve, pressing gently to remove any pulp.
  6. Refrigerate the strained almond milk for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is crucial for a richer taste!
  7. Enjoy your homemade almond milk! It's perfect for cereal, porridge, smoothies, or as a refreshing beverage.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
