A simple recipe to replace store bought almond milk without the mystery ingredients.
Soak nuts for 8 hours or overnight.
Take your soaked almonds (throw away the soaking water) and place them in a blender.
Add the 4 cups of fresh water. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes until the almonds are ground down.
Pour your almond milk into a nut milk bag* over a large bowl or wide mouthed pitcher. Squeeze the bag so that the milk flows through the bag and into the bowl. The almond pulp should be left inside the bag.
Sweeten your milk if desired, and add a dash of sea salt.
Pour your milk into a container and place it in the coldest part of the refrigerator. The milk should last 4 to 5 days before spoiling.

Don't have a nut milk bag? Try a clean, white T-shirt or the leg of a pair of nude pantyhose (unused, of course) instead.
