Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 2 cups water (for soaking)
- 2 cups filtered water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 pinch sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Place the raw almonds in a bowl and add 2 cups of water to cover them. Allow the almonds to soak for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Step 2
Drain the soaked almonds and rinse them well under cool running water.
Step 3
In a blender, add the drained almonds and 2 cups of filtered water. Blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Position a nut milk bag or a fine-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth over a large bowl or pitcher. Pour the blended almond mixture through the strainer, allowing the liquid to pass through while capturing the almond pulp.
Step 5
Squeeze the nut milk bag or cheesecloth to extract as much liquid as possible. Set aside the almond pulp, which can be used in baking or other recipes.
Step 6
Return the almond milk to the blender. Add the vanilla extract, maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend for another 30 seconds to combine.
Step 7
Transfer the almond milk creamer into a sealable glass jar or bottle. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Step 8
Shake well before each use as natural separation may occur. Add to coffee, tea, or any recipe that calls for a creamy touch.
