Almond milk

Published

Jump to recipe

Makes 1 litre

Ingredients

  • 200g almonds (soaked for 12 hours in just enough water to cover)
  • 1 litre filtered or tap water
  • 1 tsp runny honey or agave nectar (optional)

Method

  1. Drain the almonds. Transfer with the 1 litre water to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Strain the almond liquid through a fine sieve, muslin or clean tea towel, leaving behind the almond meal. Stir through the honey or agave, if using. Pour the almond milk into a glass jar or bottle and store in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Tips and notes

As shop-bought milks often don’t contain many actual almonds, it pays to make your own.

Lucy’s coeliac diagnosis changed the way the family cooked and ate. Reading labels, choosing ingredients carefully and preparing meals from scratch became second nature.

These recipes reflect our family’s love of natural, minimally processed ingredients and food to enjoy together, including recipes from our two coconut oil cookbooks.
