Vanilla Spiked Almond Milk

Today I found myself with a surplus of raw almonds from the farmers market and decided to make almond milk.  This simple recipe supplied by my friend Simone yields a rich, creamy and flavorful almond milk that is a pleasant addition to coffee, smoothies and great for my 1 year old son.


Ingredients

• 1 Cup raw almonds
• 4 Cups Water
• 1 tsp. Vanilla

Soak the almonds overnight in 3 cups of water

In the morning drain almonds and place in blender with 4 cups of fresh water

Blend on high

Strain using a fine mesh strainer and cheese cloth or a nut milk bag

Store in fridge for up to 4 days
