Almond milk recipe

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.
