Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 4 cups filtered water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 pinch sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Place the raw almonds in a bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak for at least 6 hours or overnight to soften.
Step 2
Drain and rinse the soaked almonds thoroughly under cold water.
Step 3
Add the almonds and 4 cups of filtered water to a high-speed blender.
Step 4
Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the almonds are completely broken down and the mixture appears creamy.
Step 5
Place a nut milk bag or a fine mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth over a large bowl. Slowly pour the blended almond mixture into the bag or strainer to strain out the pulp.
Step 6
Gently squeeze the bag or cheesecloth to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the almond pulp or save it for another use, such as baking or making energy balls.
Step 7
Return the strained almond milk to the blender. Add the vanilla extract, maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend briefly to combine.
Step 8
Taste and adjust sweetness or vanilla flavor as desired, adding more maple syrup or vanilla extract if needed.
Step 9
Transfer the vegan vanilla milk to a glass jar or bottle and store it in the refrigerator. Shake well before serving, as natural separation may occur.
Step 10
Enjoy chilled on its own, with cereal, in coffee, or in smoothies.
