Make almond milk at home with just a few simple, healthy ingredients.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1/2 cup hemp seeds
- 3 1/2 cups filtered water
- 2 Medjool dates
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions
- Soak almonds and hemp seeds in water overnight, or at least a few hours. Make sure the water covers the nuts and seeds by about an inch. They'll absorb a lot of that water. If your dates are dried out, you can drop them in the water for an hour or so too.
- Drain and rinse the almonds.
- Combine almonds, hemp seeds, 3 1/2 cups filtered water, dates and vanilla in the blender.
- Blend on high for a few minutes or until the almonds are broken up into a fine meal. Stop ever so often to scrape down the sides.
- Hold your nut milk bag over a large bowl (I used a large glass measuring bowl). Pour the mixture from the blender into the bag over the bowl. Let the liquid drain through, then squeeze the pulp in the bag to get the remaining liquid out.
- Pour the almond-hemp milk into clean pitcher or other container and refrigerate for up to 3-5 days. It tends to seperate when left, so be sure to give it a shake before drinking.
