Instructions:

  1. Cover the almonds with filtered water and soak for 6-12 hours at room temperature, covered with a cloth. 

  2. Strain the almonds in a colander and rinse well. 

  3. Place the almonds in the blender with 2-3 cups of water (start with 2 and increase as needed).

  4. Blend for 2 minutes, adding water as necessary.

  5. Add the vanilla and sweetener if desired and blend until mixed.

  6. Strain through a nut-milk bag, cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer into a bowl.

  7. Store the milk in an air-tight container in the fridge. It should last about 3-4 days.  You can save the almond meal for making grain free baked goods if desired; it should be stored in the fridge or freezer. You can dry it in the oven by spreading it on a baking sheet and putting in the oven on warm until the meal has a dry consistency.
