How To Make Homemade Almond Milk -Recipe

Today I’m going to share with you a super simple DIY Homemade Almond Milk Recipe.
All you really need for this is Almonds and Water.  If you want to sweeten it up a bit and add a
little more flavor you can add a Pitted Date, a pinch of salt, and a small splash of vanilla.

Let’s get started!

Soak 1 C. of almonds in 4 C. of water overnight.
 
Your water will turn a funky color and you’ll wonder if it’s still okay to use.  Yes, it is.
 
 Strain off the water the almonds have been soaking in.
You end up with these nice beautiful plump looking almonds.
In a blender or food processor add your plump almonds (you can pull the skin off first if you’d like), and 4 C. of water.  If you chose to add the date, vanilla, and salt, now is the time. I did add those for this batch, that’s why the water is the color it is.
 
Turn it on and wait about a minute.  It doesn’t take too long at all to see the magic happening.
 
Strain the almond meal from the almond milk.  I had a small cry over some spilt milk, but we kept going anyway.  At this point you can use the back of a spoon to push some extra liquid through the strainer.  Thanks to my hubby for that creative thinking!  We got probably another half cup of almond milk from his trick!  Which is about how much we poured out on the counter!
Then just pour the milk into a jar and put it in the fridge!
Easy right? Now quit spending so much on store bought almond milk that can be full of fillers/processed junk.  Remember just because a label says “natural” doesn’t mean it’s actually natural.  You can totally make this!
The leftover almonds, called the almond meal are still very much edible.  I put ours in a covered container the fridge overnight because I didn’t feel like doing anything with them right away.
Today I toasted the almond meal on a pan in the oven at 425 for about 5-10 minutes. You can sprinkle it over just about anything; flavored or plain yogurts, oatmeal, hmm, maybe even some homemade ice cream…
FYI–  I’ve read you can keep homemade almond milk in the fridge about 3 days.  I don’t imagine it’ll last that long around here, especially because I love to blend up frozen coffee cubes and almond milk for a tasty midafternoon treat quite often.

Hey Friend! I am truly so glad that you’re here today!

At A Slightly Better Wife, I share about faith, homemaking, homeschooling, and marriage—along with my passion for creating a non-toxic, intentional home. Life isn’t about perfection, but I believe in making small, meaningful choices each day to do things slightly better than before.

My love for simple living and homemaking was deeply shaped by my grandparents. I have the best childhood memories of being in the kitchen with my Grandma Edna, learning the beauty of home-cooked meals and a well-tended home. My Grandpa Link’s storytelling and wisdom instilled in me the value of faith, family, and slowing down to listen during the little moments that make life rich. Their influence is woven into who I am today and I’m so grateful for that.

I’m a wife, a momma of 5, and a homemaker at heart. My husband and I met young, just days after my 18th birthday, and we quickly (like within a week) knew that forever was in our plans.

Together, we built our home on the edge of town, where we’re raising and homeschooling our children while embracing a simple, purposeful life in the city.

Here, you’ll find encouragement for your marriage, practical tips for homemaking, and inspiration to cultivate a home filled with faith and love. Whether you’re looking for a recipe, a fresh perspective, or just a place to feel understood, I hope you’ll stay awhile and explore.

Let’s pursue slightly better together!
