Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 4 cups Water
- 3 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and soak the raw almonds in water for at least 8 hours or overnight to soften them. This helps in blending them smoothly.
Step 2
Drain and rinse the soaked almonds under cold running water.
Step 3
Place the almonds in a blender with 4 cups of fresh water. Blend on high speed for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Strain the almond mixture using a nut milk bag or a fine-mesh sieve lined with a cheesecloth into a large bowl. Squeeze or press to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the leftover almond pulp or save it for another use.
Step 5
Pour the strained almond milk back into the cleaned blender. Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Step 6
Blend all the ingredients on high speed for about 1-2 minutes until the cocoa is well incorporated and the almond chocolate milk is smooth and frothy.
Step 7
Taste the almond chocolate milk. If you'd like it sweeter, add a little more maple syrup and blend again.
Step 8
Transfer the almond chocolate milk into a jar or bottle and refrigerate it for at least an hour to chill before serving.
Step 9
Shake well before serving as the cocoa may settle at the bottom. Serve cold and enjoy your homemade almond chocolate milk!
