Here is a super simple recipe you can make at home and even involve your kids if they are around! Enjoy! And if you make it and post on social media, tag me! I love to see what you guys make!

Homemade Almond Milk

Ingredients:

2 cups unsalted, raw almonds
8 cups water

Instructions:

1. Soak almonds in 4 cups of water for 8-12 hours
2. Discard soaking water and rinse nuts.
3. Place soaked nuts and remaining 4 cups of water in a blender.
4. Blend on high for 2 minutes
5. Strain milk through a nut bag and squeeze into a bowl. I got my nut bags from good old Amazon. If you don't have a nut bag you can use 1-2 layers of cheese cloth.
6. Add in any optional flavoring; vanilla extract, cinnamon, sugar-free chocolate syrup
7. Store in glass jar in refrigerator for up to 7 days.
