Add your soaked almonds, alkaline water, and any additional add-ins (optional) to a high-speed blender (like Vitamix or Blendtec). Blend until creamy and smooth. Keep it running for at least 1-2 minutes so you get the most out of your almonds.Strain using a nut milk bag or my favorite trick - a thin dish towel. Simply lay a clean dish towel over a mixing bowl, pour the almond milk over the towel, carefully gather the corners, and lift up. Then squeeze until all of the liquid is extracted. Discard pulp, or save for adding to baked goods (especially crackers).Transfer milk to a jar or covered bottle and refrigerate. Will keep for up to 4 days, though best when fresh. Shake well before drinking, as it tends to separate.ORI use a Hurom Juicer to make my almond milk! It has really saved my life and made things much easier! It literally does all the work for you! These machines aren't very cheap... but if you make almond milk as much as I do, it is worth the investment! When you purchase the juicer, it comes with a recipe book that not only tells how to make your own almond milk but many other recipes, like healthy ice creams! xoxo
