Recipe's preparation
Soak the almonds in a glass or ceramic bowl for 24 hours with the salt and enough filtered water to cover the almonds by 3-4cm. If you remember, change the soak water after 12 or so hours.
Drain and rinse the soaked almonds well. Place with 1.25 Litres of fresh filtered water in TM bowl with the soaked almonds and blend on speed 9 for 90 seconds.
Strain mixture thorugh a nut milk bag or fine straining cloth. Gently massage the mixture to help seperate the milk from the remaining fibre. Don't squeeze your bag too hard or you may burst the seams and squash fibre through.
Store milk in glass jars in your fridge and use within 3 days. You can make the milk richer by soaking more almonds to the same amount of water, but it can get expensive.
Soaking helps to deactivate substances that are stopping the nut/seed from growing, particularly protease inhibitors (protease is an enzyme that helps break down protein). Soaking also aids the removal of anti-nutrients like phytates that can interfere with mineral absorption; however phytates are more of an issue in grain foods.
When soaking grain foods for cooking, like rice and quinoa, the addition of an acidifier helps with the phytates such as whey or lemon juice. For nuts and seeds, the addition of salt to the soak water helps with the removal of the enzyme inhibitors. Eating nuts and seeds after they have been soaked is more kind to our digestion and improves nutrient availability.

Hi i tried to make this today and the milk kept leaking out of the top of the thermomix. I am assuming i must have a seal issue. Has anyone else found this?
I ended up doing half the mix at a time.
Milk still tasted nice.

Such a great easy recipe. I made half a batch as I am the only one drinking it - I added 4 stoned medjool dates and 1 tsp vanilla essence. Perfect. Trust me you won't buy bought almond milk after you have tried this. I have the almond pulp drying out a bit to make the Chocolate Almond Pulp Brownies later today https://www.recipecommunity.com.au/baking-sweet-recipes/chocolate-almond-pulp-brownies/3pvh499x-b5a5e-210945-cfcd2-h89zweyd

Peeling of the skin from the almonds after soaking makes the milk so white,
Thank you♥

Almond milk - I love that this recipe has no added sweetners. Like @miargy, I also make a half batch using 100g almonds and 620g water which lasts me for the week, I also use the pulp for a half batch of chocolate almond pulp brownies (they are delicious!). Thanks for sharing this fabulous recipe, thanks also for the additional info on soaking grains/nuts. I don't know why I waited so long to make this!

Great recipe! I halve everything and that seems to be just enough for me for the week. I also use the left over almond pulp for this brownie recipe, very yummy as well

Perfect! First time making almond milk and found the only recipe I'll ever need for almond milk.
I was thinking I might need to add dates because some unsweetened almond milks are bland and yuk tasting. This almond milk is creamy and great tasting!
Thanks, so good! I'm so happy I won't need to buy cartons again!

Does anyone else freeze their Almond Milk? I'm super excited about making my own after all this time but I do not go through that much of it.
Awesome- so easy and so so

Makes a lot too. Is there a reason the for soaking almonds in glass or ceramic? Thanks.

I tried this recipe out of curiosity rather than need, and it was surprisingly nice.
I now have this in my file ready for when there might be a time of need. The feedback comments here on recipe community confirm this as a quick, easy and economical method for those with a dietary need that I would be happy to recomend.

This is a simple and delicious recipe. I'm the only one who drinks almond milk but when I make it I have it for brekkie, in my coffee and as a Mid afternoon drink. Gone in no time. I also use 2 cups of almonds to the same amount of water... So creamy!
Such a simple recipe to
Such a simple recipe to follow and so lovely and clean and its already soaking oats and nuts and things for breaky tomorrow. I used the pulp to make raw choc bliss balls. Thanks for an easy recipe
I will use some in cakes,
I will use some in cakes, either wet and used that day, or I dry it and blend into a flour and use a bit here and there in other things calling for flour. Or I compost it.

Sorry if it has been asked but what did you use the left over almonds ?
My first successful attempt
My first successful attempt at Almond Milk and it was a big hit! My grandadughter enjoyed it by itself, while I had the best coffee I have had all year. No more store bought for me.
I didn't get 2 litres from it though.
Made custard and pancakes with it as well. All yummy.
You are absolutely right. I
You are absolutely right. I just thought it might be nice to know about the boiling water for those, for whom the raw/unheated part is less important than the storing time (we don't use up this amount of almond milk fast enough...)
Sorry about the confusion with my translation. I meant any glass container that created a vacuum such as the one you used in the photo, reused glasses of jam/marmalade/pickles/etc. Anything that makes a plop sound when you open it. Personally, I use smaller glass smoothie bottles I bought, drank and reuse, so I have amounts of 200-300 ml ready to use in overnight oats.

This has become a regular in our house - almond milk smoothies are now the breakfast of choice for a teenager who had refused to eat in the mornings. Thank you.

I assume this means a screw top glass such as the jar I have used in the phtoto - these are passata jars. They fit nicely in the fridge door too

Regarding the use of boiling
Regarding the use of boiling water - I am not saying you can't do this but it is different to my recipe which is all about making raw/unheat-treated almond milk which I don't recommmed using after 3 days. heating it may well see it last longer but I dont know as I haven't tried it. I assume a twist off glass is much like what I have used in the photo? Cheers Kristine

What is a "twist off glass"?
What is a "twist off glass"? I was a bit unsure about what to put it in, I found a wide mouth glass jar to start, then poured it into a swing top bottle with a funnel.

Thanks so much! Love it oh and I add 2 dates when blending just to give it that touch of sweetness (tip I got from a friend)

Awesome and easy. I read that almond milk can be frozen so I made extra to freeze but it was not nice. This milk is lovely fresh.
So much better than store
So much better than store bought! Thanks also for the soaking tips. I will soak rice and quinoa before cooking as my son says he gets indigestion from both, but only when they are cold ie when I've made a salad for him to take to work. Will see if soaking helps.
So many recipes to try, but so little time!
So easy and looks just like
So easy and looks just like cows milk. Thank you. I've frozen my pulp and will try it in cookies for the kids.
Thank you so much for this
Thank you so much for this recipe. My baby cannot drink dairy and this has made our lives easier - and saved me almost $4 a litre for almond milk! So easy to do and well explained.
