Equipment
12x12 inch Cheesecloth or nut bag of fine mesh strainer
32 oz Jar with lid
Medium saucepan with lid
Ingredients
1cupRaw Almonds crushed
4cupsWater boiling
Instructions
Place the water in a medium size saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the crushed almonds (do not boil), remove from the stove and put a lid on. Allow to sit room temperature for at least 6 hours or over night.
Pour the entire mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth, into a bowl large enough to hold 32 ounces. Press and squeeze as much milk out of the almonds as you can. Towards the end is where the creamiest liquid will extract from the almonds.
Transfer the milk to a container with a lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes
Milk from other nuts or oats can be made exactly the same as this recipe.
A great sweetener is dates! Simply soak and puree one pitted date with the almonds when making the milk.
If you wish other sweeteners or the addition of a splash of vanilla, add it once you transfer the milk to its final airtight container.
