Instructions
Place the raw almonds in a large bowl and cover them with water. Seal the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, for 8 to 12 hours. This soaking process softens the almonds, making them easier to blend and improving the milk's flavor and texture.After soaking, pour the almonds into a strainer and rinse them thoroughly under cold water. Discard the soaking water.Transfer the drained almonds to a high-speed blender. Add 4 cups of filtered water. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.Place a nut milk bag or a large, thin kitchen towel over a large bowl. Carefully pour the almond mixture into the bag or towel. Gather the sides together and gently squeeze out the liquid, allowing the almond milk to strain into the bowl below. Continue squeezing until you’ve extracted as much liquid as possible, leaving behind only the almond pulp. Discard the pulp or save it to make your own almond meal!

Notes
Tip: If you'd like to add any of the optional ingredients (such as dates for sweetness, a pinch of salt, vanilla extract, or cocoa powder for a chocolate twist), do so during this blending step for the best flavor integration.
