Sweet, creamy, and nutty flavors combine to form this delicious almond milk. You'll get the best results if you use a great quality vanilla bean and soak your almonds overnight.
This recipe was adapted from the original in The Plantpower Way, a new book by Rich Roll and Julie Piatt.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup raw almonds
- 3 dates
- 2 cups filtered water, plus more for soaking

Instructions
- Soak almonds in enough filtered water to cover overnight or for at least 2 hours. In a separate bowl, soak the dates in enough filtered water to cover for at least 30 minutes.

- To open the vanilla bean, slice lengthwise. Scrape out the insides and add to blender. Add a pinch of sea salt. Blend again on high for 30 seconds.

(5 from 1 vote)I put one cup of almonds and two cups water in my instant pot, cook on high pressure for ten minutes, natural release. Drain the almonds and skins slip off easily. Put almonds and 4 cups water in blender and blend well. Strain in a nut bag. This recipe is from The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook For your Instant Pot.
For hemp milk do you soak over night and use 1/2 cup hemp to 2 cups milk to blend?
This question is for anyone that has made almond milk. Do you have to remove the skins of the almonds before blending?
No you don’t. Just strain it through a nut bag after blending
Today I made the oat milk and it came out good better than the one i buy at the store,Planning on making almond and coconut
I made oat milk this morning and it came good,better than the one i have bought .And this weekend I' making almond and coconut
Why include recipe for almond milk when we need to make better choices such as hemp or oats?
This sounds amazing! We’ve been making our own plain almond milk for a year and love love love it (just 1 cup soaked almonds to 1 quart water) but this recipe would make a special treat. Thank you!
There is an almond vanilla milk I found at whole foods called MALK and it’s delicious and better than any I’ve bought or made at home!
sorry I don't have a blender that would do the trick..
