Method

  1. Soak the almonds in the water overnight. They should swell and become supple.
  2. Grind the soaked almonds and water in a blender. Blend in a pinch of salt and a few dates if desired.
  3. Strain the almond mixture through a fine filter to remove the almond solids. Folded cheesecloth or a nut milk bag work well.
  4. Use the almond milk immediately or chill.

Notes

  • Almond meal, which is made from the leftover chaff, can be used in smoothies and other recipes that call for almonds or almond flour.

Equipment
