- Cook Time: 0 min

Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds, soaked (see Note)
- 4 cups filtered water
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 to 4 whole, pitted dates, optional
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon, optional
Method
- Drain and rinse the soaked almonds, discarding the soaking water. Add them to a high-speed blender along with the filtered water, salt, dates, vanilla, and cinnamon, if using. Blend on high until creamy, smooth, and foamy, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Using a nut bag or a clean tea towel draped over a large bowl, strain the almond milk. If using the towel, gather the fabric around the pulp and gently squeeze until all of the liquid is extracted.
- Transfer the milk to a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Store refrigerated for up to 4 days. Shake well before drinking.
Notes
Soak the almonds for 8 to 12 hours in cool water or overnight. For thinner milk, use 5 cups of water instead of 4. For sweeter milk, use 4 dates. For subtle sweetness, use 2 to 3 dates.
