How to make almond milk

How to make homemade almond milk | kristinschell.com

Homemade almond milk is so easy to make I swear I’m going to do it more often.  The hardest part about this recipe is remembering to soak the almonds overnight. Because who has soaked almonds lying around?  SOAK ALMONDS — now there’s an iPhone reminder you never thought you’d set.

Soaking the almonds softens the nuts, releases their flavors, and makes for a more creamy milk. Once you’ve made your own almond milk, you’ll wonder, like I do, why soaking almonds is so darned hard to remember. Truly, the taste is deliciousness.

Use your almond milk in smoothies, as a non-dairy creamer for tea or coffee, or with your favorite chocolate chip cookie.

Feel free to experiment with sweeteners too. You can use maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar in lieu of the date. Start with a teaspoon or two of sweetener and adjust for your family’s preference. You’ll need a fine meshed sieve, or good strainer. As well as cheese cloth or a nut bag (who knew?).

What are you waiting for? Let me know if you try making your own almond milk. I’d love to know what you think.

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!

A sweet friend from church — who I haven’t seen in person in ONE solid year— just delivered this traditional Russian dessert. She said she hasn’t hosted a gathering in so long she decided to pull out all her heart molds and make a favorite dessert to surprise her friends.
