Almond milk is not a replacement for milk from animals. If you want to stop consuming milk as a drink, have water. Almonds should not be consumed in mass quantities, they are very calorie dense and contain high levels of omega-6 PUFAs. Almond milk can be used as a treat in small amounts, just like almonds. It can be used in cooking to add the flavour of almonds.

Note that the toxic waste sold in stores is less than 2% almonds, while this recipe is over 50% almond. This recipe also doesn't include the flavorings, emulsifiers, and preservatives contained in the commercial products.

0.25 tsp. | [https://www.fuxx.us/sea-salt sea salt]

Prepare

  • Add water to container with almonds and salt. Soak for at least 12 hours. Use enough water to submerge the almonds by about an inch.
  • Drain the soaking water and rinse the almonds well. Do not re-use the soaking water, it now contains phytic acid.
