People look at me like I am crazy when I tell them I make my own almond milk.  They have built it up in their mind as a huge undertaking but the truth is that the hardest part is remembering to soak the almonds overnight.  Once you have soaked them overnight the actual making the milk only takes a couple minutes.  Almond milk doesn’t last long (about 2-3 days) so you could cut this recipe in half and just make 2 cups worth.  It all depends on what you are planning on doing with it.  I use it to cook with and drink so we normally have no problem finishing it within a couple days of making it.  

Ingredients:

2 Cups Almonds

4 Cups Water

1 tsp Vanilla (if you plan on just drinking it)

Instructions:

Soak almonds overnight in refrigerator.  Strain off water and rinse thoroughly.

Add to almonds and water to Vitamix or blender.

Blend for 1-2 minutes.

Strain through almond milk bag into wide mouth bowl or pitcher.  Stir in the vanilla.

Milk bag to get all the goodness out.  Makes 4 cups (32 ounces) and keeps for 2-3 days.
