Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 2 cups filtered water for soaking
- 2.5 cups filtered water for blending
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional for creaminess)
Directions
Step 1
Place the raw almonds into a bowl or container and cover them with 2 cups of filtered water. Allow the almonds to soak for at least 8 hours or overnight. This step is crucial for softening the almonds and making them easier to blend.
Step 2
After soaking, drain and rinse the almonds thoroughly with fresh water to remove any remaining phytic acid.
Step 3
Place the soaked almonds into a blender along with 2.5 cups of filtered water.
Step 4
Blend on high speed for about 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is smooth and frothy. The more powerful the blender, the creamier the milk will be.
Step 5
Place a nut milk bag or a thin, clean kitchen towel over a large bowl or pitcher. Pour the blended almond mixture through the bag or towel to strain out the almond pulp.
Step 6
Squeeze and wring out the bag or towel to extract as much liquid as possible. This is your fresh almond milk base.
Step 7
Pour the strained almond milk back into the clean blender. Add the vanilla extract, sea salt, and optional coconut oil for extra creaminess.
Step 8
Blend on high for another 30 seconds to ensure that all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the creaminess is enhanced.
Step 9
Transfer the almond milk creamer to a bottle or jar with a tight-fitting lid. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Step 10
Shake well before using, as natural separation may occur. Add to your coffee, tea, or any beverage of choice.
