Equipment

1 High-speed blender

1 Jug glass

1 Cheesecloth

1 Storage bottle glass, with swing top lid

Ingredients

100 g Almonds raw
750 ml Filtered water
1 tbsp sunflower seeds optional

Instructions

Soak the Almonds: Begin by soaking 100g of raw almonds in water for at least 8 hours. Overnight soaking is best, but if you're in a rush, 4 hours will still do the trick.
Blend: After soaking, drain and rinse the almonds. Place them in a blender along with 750g of filtered water. Blend on high speed for about 5 minutes until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
Strain: Using a cheesecloth or a nut milk bag, strain the almond milk into a clean container. Squeeze and press as much liquid out as possible.
Save the Pulp: Keep it in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze it.
Store your almond milk in a glass bottle with a swing-top lid, or consume it immediately with your coffee or sweet treats. Enjoy!

Notes

Soak almonds overnight or for at least 8 hours to achieve a creamier texture and make blending easier.

Always use filtered water for a cleaner, fresher taste.

Sweeten naturally with dates, maple syrup, or vanilla extract if desired.

For a creamier result, reduce water to 600g; for lighter almond milk, increase up to 1 liter.

Shake well before each use, as natural separation is normal in homemade plant-based milk.

Store in an airtight glass bottle or jar in the fridge for up to 5-7 days.

Freeze leftover almond milk in ice cube trays for smoothies or recipes.

Don’t throw away the almond pulp. Dry it out and blend to make homemade almond flour, or use it in energy balls, porridge, or muffins.
