1. Soak almonds in water overnight.

2. Remove Skins: remove the peels of the almonds. The peels slide off super easy after soaking.

3. Rinse and Strain: The water will get a bit colored and you will want to strain it. Once all the peels are removed rinse and strain the soaked almonds.

4. Blend: Pour almonds in blender and add water. (I filled blender 3/4 way with water and almonds and used a whole bag of raw almonds from Trader Joe's).

5. Season: We added a splash of vanilla extract to the blender but... fresh vanilla, chocolate, strawberries, the flavor possibilities are limitless.

6. Strain: pour through a nut milk bag or similar small pour straining bag.

optional: 2 tsp. vanilla
