How to Make Almond Milk - A how-to guide on designing the almond milk that is right for you!

1st Blend: Place 5 cups filtered water and 1 cup raw almonds in a high-speed blender. Blend 3-4 minutes.
Strain: Pour through a nut-milk bag or cheesecloth into a clean container.
2nd Blend: Pour almond milk back into blender and add a pinch kosher salt. Blend for an additional minute.
Store: Pour into a storage container. Keep refrigerated for 3-5 days.

Soaking Almonds: you CAN soak the almonds in water ahead of time to help soften them, but it isn't required. I would really only do that if you do not have a high-powered blender.
Separation: as the almond milk sits it will naturally separate - simply give it a good shake before using!
Storage: Keep in the fridge for no longer than 3-5 days. Separation will naturally occur, just shake well before using.
Salt: I would highly recommend adding a pinch of salt - it just rounds out the flavor nicely.
Other Nuts: You could use this recipe with other nuts such as cashews or walnuts - or combine some!
Almonds - Peeled v. Unpeeled: It's totally up to you, if you choose to peel the almonds after you soak them, the milk may have a slightly more creamy consistency ... but is also a little tedious to peel them all... you decide.
