homemade almond milk + how to make it chocolate

almond milk

4 cups filtered water

1 cup almonds (soaked 7-18 hours and rinsed well)

2 tablespoons honey or raw agave (can also use 4-6 pitted dates) i like using honey or agave because it keeps the milk white and pretty

pinch of high quality sea salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 vanilla bean or vanilla powder

for chocolate almond milk- add organic cocoa powder (start with 2 teaspoons, then add from there)

1. blend almonds and water on high speed until creamy and smooth.

2. strain the milk through a nut milk bag.

3.  pour the milk back into blender.

4. add remaining ingredients: honey, salt and vanilla.

5. blend until thoroughly combined. taste for sweetness + refrigerate.
