Best Homemade Almond Milk Recipes

HOMEMADE ALMOND MILK COFFEE CREAMER

Steps:

• Place 1 cup of raw almonds in a clean mason jar or other container with an airtight lid. Cover with 2 cups of water. Seal and let sit on the kitchen counter for 48 hours (but no longer)! Change out the water at least every 12 hours.
• Drain off the soaking water and rinse the almonds. Add the soaked almonds to a food processor or blender along with 1 1/2 cups of water. Pulse/puree until the almonds are pulverized and the mixture is white - about 30 seconds.
• Place a nut milk bag inside a bowl and then pour the pureed almond mixture into the bag. With super-clean hands, lift the bag and squeeze to get every last bit of milk out.
• Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
• Homemade almond milk coffee creamer keeps refrigerated in an airtight container for up to a week. But it rarely lasts that long around here!

HOMEMADE ICE MILK. -VANILLA, CHOCOLATE, ALMOND, FRUIT CHOICES

Steps:

• Choose a bowl or ceramic mug, any container that can be frozen and will hold as much as you make. If its tupperware and you choose to use the lid, remember it will be harder to remove when frozen, otherwise use plastic wrap. (told you this is easy :) ).
• Mix all ingredients in the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap.
• Place in the freezer overnight.
• Next day, let it sit in sun for a few minutes then stir it and you will have ice milk. Until then it just looks like frozen ice lol.

HOMEMADE NATURALLY SWEETENED ALMOND MILK

Steps:

• Place almonds in a bowl and cover with cool water; place bowl out of direct sunlight and soak for 12 to 48 hours.
• Place dates in a separate bowl and cover with 1 cup water; soak for 1 hour.
• Drain and rinse almonds in a colander and transfer almonds to a blender. Add dates and their soaking water, vanilla extract, and salt; pour in 4 cups water. Blend on low speed for 10 seconds and slowly increase to high speed and process for 90 seconds.
• Place a nut bag or cheesecloth over a bowl; pour in almond mixture. Allow the milk to fully strain through, about 10 minutes. Gently squeeze nut bag or cheesecloth to release any extra milk from the pulp. Transfer almond milk to a container and refrigerate.

QUICK & EASY HOMEMADE ALMOND MILK

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, blanche almonds for about 3 minutes. Drain and let cool on a wire rack or on a tea towel.
• When cool enough to handle pop the skins off the nuts, and throw them in the compost.
• Pour nut meats and 5 cups of filtered water into a blender and blend on high for about 3-5 minutes. If 5 cups of water seems too much for your blender to handle at once, start with 2 cups of water and then add the remaining 3 cups half way through blending.
• Strain the mixture with cheesecloth or a fine sieve over a large jar (or recycled glass juice container). Once should be fine but if you really don't want any almond granules left in there, twice should cover it.
• Et voilá! Fresh homemade almond milk. Refrigerate any milk you won't be drinking immediately for up to a week. For creamier milk, use less water. For lighter milk, use more water.

HOMEMADE ALMOND MILK AND ALMOND FLOUR

Steps:

• FOR THE MILK: Soak the almonds for 6-8 hours. This helps remove the brown layering, which is an "anti-nutrient".
• Drain and rinse almonds.
• In a blender, blend 1 cup almonds with 3 cups of water for 30 seconds on high (for every 1 cup of almonds, blend it with 3 cups of water if doing this in batches).
• Strain the mixture through a large cheesecloth and into a pitcher. Squeeze out as much milk from the pulp as you can. Save the pulp!
• Pour mixture back into blender if using a sweetener. Blend the milk on high for another 15 seconds with a sweetener of your choice (I use honey or raw dates). Refrigerate. Keep in mind the milk will separate. Don't be alarmed, just stir it before use.
• Note: If you don't like plain almond milk, pour 1 cup of milk in a blender with one banana for a tasty smoothie!
• FOR THE ALMOND FLOUR: Spread the saved almond pulp evenly onto an ungreased baking sheet. Dry it in the oven for 2 hours at 200 degrees F, or until dry. Be careful not to bake it! Every 30 minutes I sift it around with a fork so that it dries evenly.
• Once the pulp is dried, scoop it into blender and grind for about 30 seconds until it's a fine flour.
• Dump your almond flour into a container with a tight-fitting lid and store away at room temperature. I use this flour to make muffins and have kept it around for at least 2 months.

HOMEMADE CASHEW AND ALMOND MILK

Steps:

• Submerge almonds and cashews in water overnight to soften (minimum 6 hours).
• Drain nuts, and discard water.
• Place nuts in a high-powered blender. Add water and remaining ingredients.
• Blend on high for 1 minute, or until a white creamy milk forms and the majority of the particles are dissolved.
• Place a cheese cloth, nut bag or clean kitchen towel in a fine mesh strainer over a bowl.
• Pour contents of blender over cloth.
• When it mostly drains through, give the cloth a good squeeze to get the remaining milk out.
• Discard nut pulp (or dry it and use it in another recipe!).
• Drink and enjoy! Can be stored in fridge up to 4 days.

HOMEMADE ALMOND MILK

Steps:

• Place the almonds in a large bowl and cover with water. Soak at least 4 hours, up to 2 days. Overnight is ideal.
• Drain the almonds and place them in a blender with the remaining ingredients. Puree until the almonds are in tiny pieces. Discard the soaking liquid and use new filtered water for pureeing.
• Place a strainer in a large bowl and cover the top of the strainer with cheesecloth (this step is important because the almonds will be in such small pieces that the cheesecloth and strainer need to stop them from going into the milk).
• Pour the almond milk through the cheesecloth. You may need to do this in stages so the milk can slowly strain through the cheesecloth. It may help taking a spoon to scrape the bottom of the cheesecloth so the milk can pass.
• Pour the milk and the almond puree into separate containers and refrigerate until ready to drink." the pureed almonds can be saved and eaten as a breakfast with typical oatmeal toppings, or as a dessert topped with fresh berries!
