Three years ago, Tiffany Washko taught us how to make homemade almond milk.  For three years, I have meant to try.  It took my friends on an [amazon_link id=”B000LR39R8″ target=”_blank” ]Ejuva Intestinal Cleansing Program[/amazon_link] to inspire and teach me how to make almond milk.

Essential to making homemade almond is a [amazon_link id=”B004ETJH66″ target=”_blank” ]nut milk bag[/amazon_link].  If you try to use cheesecloth, you will be frustrated!  Other than that, I was surprised at how easy and delicious it is to make your own nut milk!

Homemade Almond Milk Recipe

• Soak almonds for at least 12 hours in water.  I use about two cups of almonds, but you can vary the recipe for any amount.  I don’t measure ingredients.
• Drain and rinse almonds.
• Place in a blender.  Add water to about one inch above the level of almonds.
• Add three dates, a little vanilla, and a pinch of cinnamon.
• Blend well.
• Pour into nut bag, and squeeze the milk out like you are milking a cow. Save the leftover almond pulp for smoothies, pancakes, yogurt, etc.

So easy and so yummy!  I am hooked on homemade almond milk!
