There are two options for soaking almonds.
Room Temperature Water: Soak almonds in 3 cups of filtered water for a minimum of 12 hours.
Hot Water: You can pour boiling water over almonds, soak for 20 minutes, strain and repeat process 3x (total of one hour) if you're in a hurry to make almond milk!
Once soaked, drain and rinse almonds.
Add almonds and fresh filtered water in blender.
Blend on high for 2 minutes or until milk starts to look smooth.
Strain in a nut milk bag (linked above), squeezing as much milk out of the pulp as possible.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
