November Challenge - Almond Milk

I had a hard time deciding what to do this month because I have so many recipes and things I want to try. I finally decided on seeing if I could make almond milk from scratch.

This is what you need
1. 1 cup Raw Almonds
2. 4 cups Water
3. Sweetener


Step 1
Soak 1 cup of almonds overnight

Step 2
Strain the almond and blend the almond with 4 cups of water

Step 3
Add sweetener (I used agave. You can use vanilla extract, stevia, etc)


Step 4
Strain the milk and put it in a container. Milk will last 3-4 days in fridge.






This water from soaked almonds can be used to water plants because of its high nutrient content!
This is the almond residue from the blended almonds. I baked it for almond meal! Click here for suggestions on how to use almond meal.







As you can see, my kids loved the almond milk I made for this month's challenge. It was so easy! Definitely try this one, y'all!!
