Notes
For best results, soak the almonds overnight, which makes them softer and easier to blend.
If you want flavored almond milk, try adding a pinch of vanilla extract or a tablespoon of sweetener such as maple syrup or agave.
Almond milk can separate, so shake well before use.
You can save the almond pulp for baking or adding to smoothies to reduce food waste!
