- 1 cup almonds, raw
- Water
- Dates, optional
- Honey, optional
Place the almonds in a deep bowl with enough water to cover by about an inch. Let soak for 1 to 2 days.
Drain and rinse the almonds and then place in a blender or food processer with 2 cups of water. Add 1 or 2 pitted dates if you want a little more sweetness. Blend and pulse until very fine and the water is milky.
Line a strainer with cheesecloth and set over a large bowl with a spout or a measuring cup. Then pour the mixture into the strainer and twist the cheesecloth, squeezing out every last bit of almond milk. You can also add a little honey to taste. Refrigerate and use within a day or two.
