How To Make Almond Milk

• 1 cup whole raw almonds (not toasted or roasted, etc), enough water to cover
  3 – 4 cups water, more if desired
  a pinch of salt
  honey, to taste
• 
  
• Soak the almonds overnight in a bowl with enough water to cover. 
• Drain and discard the soaking water.
• Put almonds in blender with 3 – 4 cups water and blend on HIGH speed until smooth.
•  
• Lay a linen or cotton towel (not terry cloth) inside a bowl large enough to hold all the liquid. Pour the milk into the towel, and squeeze out the excess liquid. What’s left in the towel is called Almond Meal…so don’t throw it away.
• Taste the milk and if it’s a little too nutty for you, add a pinch of salt, and 1-2 teaspoons of honey or other sweetner if you like. Add chocolate for Chocolate Almond Milk!
• Store in a glass jar or bottle. The liquid will separate between uses, just be sure to shake it up before each use.
•  
• You can use the Almond Meal that is leftover. One way is to spread it out on a cookie sheet and bake it in the oven for about 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Then let it cool completely and put it in a ziploc bag and put in the freezer for use at a later date.
