Put almonds in a small bowl and cover with water to soak overnight. The next day, drain, transfer to blender and add water. Blend for 4 minutes, or 1 minute in a high-powered blender like a Vitamix. Drape the cheese cloth or nut milk bag over a large bowl or measuring cup and pour in the milk to strain out the pulp. Squeeze the liquid from the pulp and pour into a glass jar with a lid for storage. The milk will stay fresh in the refrigerator for 5-7 days. Note* Keep the pulp for making THESE muffins! You can also freeze the pulp until you have enough to dehydrate and make flour.How to Make Naturally Sweetened Almond Milk
