Homemade Almond Milk

I saw how to make almond milk on the Grow Food, Not Lawns Facebook page. I decided to try it and I was very impressed.

You will need:
Organic and/or local is always best.

1 cup of almonds soaked overnight (5 to 8 hours)
4 cups water
A good blender
A cheesecloth

After the almonds have soaked, drain that water (you can use it for your house plants if you don't want to waste it). Then in the blender take the drained almonds and 4 cups of fresh water. Blend on high for 2 minutes. Drain it into a large measuring bowl using the cheesecloth. It should be good for about 4 days.

I found that pouring it into the cheesecloth a little at a time worked better because then I could wrap up the cheesecloth and squeeze it into the bowl. It made it much faster. Enjoy!

**Also, you can take the almond pulp and make almond four. I used a baking sheet and put a silicone mat underneath. Bake it at your lowest oven temperature for about 2 1/2 hours. Once it's dry, you can blend it up in a magic bullet and create almond flour. I use this in my muffins when I have it. Super easy!
