I'm cooking this todayRecipe'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
Do you buy almonds with skin on or without the skin?
Just made this for my twins boys. Its looks nice and creamy and taste amazing. Will see if I can start cutting dairy out of the old kids diets without them knowing thank you for sharing this recipe.
Very glad to use this recipe... will make it every week now, since my daugther gets sore tummies from dairy.
This is the best Almond milk I have eva made and I have tried a few lol.
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

Thanks!
Yum! So easy to make. No more store bought stuff for us from now on. I like a thicker milk so will reduce the amount of water next time. Thanks!
Beautiful and so easy. And thank you NomesFog for your suggestion on what to with the leftover almond meal. Perfect.
