Whatever your favorite dairy free milk, it is so easy (and much tastier!) to make them from home! Store bought brands are great for convenience, but they often have preservatives, fillers and other undesirable ingredients. Homemade nut milk is smooth, creamy and delicious! Once you realize how easy it is to make your own nut milk, you can enjoy infusing flavor and sweetening if desired! You can adapt this recipe to make cashew milk or any other nut milk as well, just replace the almonds with your nut of choice. If you are sensitive to nuts, you can also make milk using seeds such as pumpkin, hemp, or sunflower!

Instructions
- Soak your almonds overnight or for at least 8 hours.
- Discard the water and add your soaked almonds (and optional add-ins) to a high-speed blender.
- Add 4 cups of filtered water. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes until the almonds are ground down.
- Pour your almond milk into a nut milk bag over a large bowl. Squeeze the bag so that the milk flows through the bag and into the bowl. The almond pulp should be left inside the bag.
- Sweeten and flavor your milk if desired. Pour your milk into a glass container with a tight lid and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
