Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw almonds
- 4 cups Filtered water
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Place the raw almonds into a bowl and cover them with 2 cups of filtered water. Allow them to soak overnight or for at least 8 hours to soften.
Step 2
After soaking, drain and rinse the almonds thoroughly under running water.
Step 3
Add the soaked almonds and 2 fresh cups of filtered water to a blender. Blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
Step 4
Prepare a nut milk bag or a clean cheesecloth over a bowl or large measuring cup. Pour the almond mixture through the strainer, squeezing well to extract all the liquid. Discard the pulp or save it for another recipe.
Step 5
Stir in the vanilla extract, maple syrup, and salt into the almond milk. Adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup, if desired.
Step 6
Pour the almond milk creamer into a sealed container and refrigerate. It will last for up to 5 days.
Step 7
Shake well before use, as natural separation may occur.
