Almond Nut Milk

soak 2 cups of raw whole almonds or blanched for 8hrs for one half gallon or one gallon of almond milk.
Drain water after 8hrs. Skin will easily come off afterward so take them off. The skin inhibits your body's nutrients. Or you can leave the skin on.
Add almonds in blender
warm 6 cups of warm unfiltered or alkaline water. Not too hot and add to the blender.
Add half a teaspoon or teaspoon and a half of vanilla extract if you want vanilla taste
Add 1 teaspoon of sweetener like agave, dates (1-2), honey etc if you want it a little sweet
Blend til milky for about a minute depending on power of blender
Strain in a large bowl with a milk bag.
Store in a half gallon mason jar. This should fill up the jar 3 quarters of the way.
You can repeat the process again to do a second batch with the remainder pulp, but it will be slightly watered down. But this is a good thing if you do not want a lot of the almond taste.
Chill in the fridge then serve in cereal or make smoothies etc.
