How to make almond milk

Instructions

1. Put the almonds to soak for at least 8 hours; I usually leave them overnight.
2. The next day, rinse the almonds well and peel them. You will see that once soaked, the skin will be effortless to remove: it is enough to apply a little pressure with your fingers, and the almond comes out on its own. (You can also use already peeled almonds and skip this step).
3. When your almonds are peeled, put them in the blender with the water. You can use more water if you want lighter milk. You can divide this process into several batches if not all the ingredients fit into your blender.
4. Add the water and process everything very well until the almonds have entirely powdered.
5. Strain the liquid through a cloth or vegetable milk bag to separate the milk from the almond pulp. It is important to squeeze as much as possible to remove all the milk.
6. Note: do not throw away the pulp as you can use it for other recipes.
7. Your almond milk is ready to be used. Keep it in an airtight glass jar in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
