Description

This homemade vanilla almond milk is rich, creamy, thick and froths beautifully for your morning coffee or tea. Plus you need just 3 ingredients, a blender, and a nut milk bag to make this. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 cup almonds*
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
  • Pinch of kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Simply add all the ingredients into a high-speed blender. Blend on low, slowly ramping up the speed to medium-high. Blend for 2-3 minutes until creamy. 
  2.  Pour the milk into a nut milk bag and squeeze to strain out the milk. Pour the almond milk into a glass jar and store in the fridge for up to 5 days. 

Notes

*If you have a low-powered blender, I recommend soaking the almonds overnight so it’s easier to blend. I used my Vitamix for this which is great for making nut milks!

Feel free to add in 1 medjool date or 1 tbsp of maple syrup to add a touch of sweetness to this almond milk if you prefer.
