How to Make Homemade Almond Milk
Keeping it dairy free? Homemade almond milk is not only rewarding, rich in taste and creamy, but very simple to make. All you’ll need is a high speed blender, raw almonds and water!
You can sweeten your milk with honey, agave, maple syrup or dates. Many times I will start with unsweetened milk as you can easily use it as the base for other delicious recipes.
