Makes ~ 6 cups

  • 2 cups raw almonds

  • 12 cups filtered water, divided

  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract (or pure almond extract)

  • pinch sea salt

  • ½ teaspoon powdered stevia, or 7 to 10 drops of liquid stevia (optional)

  4. Blend on high for 2 to 3 minutes

  5. Line a strainer with cheesecloth and place the strainer over a large, glass measuring bowl

  6. Slowly pour the blended almond mixture into the cheesecloth, stirring with a spoon to help separate the liquid from the almond meal

  7. When the last bit of liquid is poured into the cheesecloth, squeeze the cheesecloth to remove any excess liquid (reserve the almond meal for future recipes)
