I had a friend turn me on to Almond Milk because of my diet.I was a sceptic because of soy milk.Sorry soy milk lovers, but, yuck. Well she talked me into it and needless to say I fell in love with it.Unfortunately it's pricier than regular milk. My husband had a whole box of raw almonds given to him and I got so excited about all the baking I was going to do with these almonds.It wasn't til I came across bags of almonds at a yard sale,when the light came on, and the woman told me how to make almond milk.I was having a "well,duh" moment. So here it is.I absolutely love it.ENJOY

    Drain and rinse the almonds thoroughly with cold water.
  • Step 3
    Combine TWO cups of the water and almonds in a blender.blend at highest speed for 2 min. but first pulse to break up the almonds.( the almonds should be broken down into a very fine meal,and the water should be white and opaque.)If using a food processor,process for 4 min.total. Scrape down the sides half way through.
  • Step 4
    Strain the almonds through a wire mesh lined with a cheese cloth or nut bag,into a bowl large enough to hold four cups.Press all the almond milk from the almond meal.
  • Step 5
    Add meal back to your blender or processor with the remaining 2 cups of water and repeat step 3 and 4.
