Today we are going to go one step further and show you how to make your own almond milk with Maisie Jane almonds, and its probably easier than you think, and can be a cheaper alternative as well!

Serving Size: 4

Ingredients:

1 cup Maisie Jane Almonds
4 cups water
Honey or sweetener of choice if desired
1 tbsp vanilla if desired
Cheese cloth or very fine strainer

Instructions:

Soak almonds in water for at least 5 hours, overnight is preferred! If you would like to speed up the process, soak in hot water for 2 hours
Once done soaking, put almonds and water in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. The less almond bits the better.
Strain almond/water mixture through cheese cloth until your desired smoothness is reached.
Return strained almond milk back to (cleaned) blender and add desired amount of sweetener. We are using 1 tablespoon of honey and 1 tsp of vanilla.
Enjoy for up to 4 days. Keep refrigerated.

Please note:

This recipe will not keep as long as store bought almond milk as it has no preservatives.

You can double this recipe too. Just make sure to do 1 part almonds to 4 parts water for the best favor.
