– 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
– 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
– 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
Instructions
1. Place 1 cup of raw almonds in a large bowl and cover them completely with filtered water. Let them soak at room temperature for 8-12 hours to soften, which makes them easier to blend and yields a creamier milk.

4. Add 4 cups of fresh filtered water to the blender with the almonds.
5. Add 1 tablespoon of pure maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon of fine sea salt to the blender.
6. Securely fasten the blender lid and blend on high speed for exactly 90 seconds, until the mixture looks completely smooth and creamy with no visible almond pieces.
7. Place a nut milk bag or a fine-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth over a large bowl or pitcher.
8. Pour the blended almond mixture into the bag or strainer. Tip: For maximum yield, gently squeeze the bag or press the pulp with a spoon to extract all the liquid.
9. Discard the leftover almond pulp or save it for another use, like adding to oatmeal or baked goods.
10. Pour the strained almond milk into a clean glass jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid.
11. Store the milk in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Tip: Shake the jar well before each use, as natural separation occurs.
You’ll be rewarded with a silky, subtly sweet milk that’s perfect over cereal or frothed into a latte. Its delicate vanilla aroma and rich texture make it a versatile star for both sweet and savory creations.
