1 cup raw almonds
4 cups filtered water

Here is how you make Almond Milk, home made, all natural:

I use a VitaMixer but any really good blender/processor should be able to grind the almonds into pulp. Soak the almonds in the water overnight (or for at least four hours). Soaking helps soften the near indigestible surface coating.Place all ingredients (soaked almonds and the water they were soaked in) in the blender and process until it looks like milk and the almonds are like fine table salt or grit.Using a fine sieve or cheesecloth, cover a pitcher or bowl and filter out the almonds from the "milk". Refrigerate the milk and use within a week.I add the resulting pulp to other baking dishes when nuts are needed. The milk is a wonderful substitute for animal milk for those of us who are lactose intolerant and can be used in the same way.Serving Size:?makes 8 1/2 cup servingsNumber of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SHEPHEARD.
