How to Make a Classic Almond Milk
hi guys it's Chris from Chris Carr comm
and today I want to teach you how to
make almond milk this recipe is for my
new book crazy sexy juice and it's very
simple and the reason why I want to
start with this recipe is because it's
the basis for a lot of the smoothies
that I make and that I have in the book
and that you probably make it home
almond milk is great to buy at the store
it's super easy but it's also really
easy to make on your own and that milks
are a wonderful alternative to Dairy as
you probably know and you can make so
many different types of nut milks you
can make nut milks from Brazil nuts
cashews you can make seed milks for some
of you who are sensitive to knots so
anyway let me show you this recipe and
will make an awesome almond milk
I'm gonna use 1 cup of almonds now I
soaked these overnight you basically
need to soak them for up to 8 hours and
this makes them a lot easier to digest
and also it makes your almond milk a lot
creamier I'm gonna use 4 cups of water
you can use less if you want to creamier
a milk or more if you want a more
liquidy milk I'm also going to use 1/4
teaspoon of salt which will really bring
out the sweetness 2 dates and I'm going
to use a teaspoon of vanilla which you
can use if you want or you can not use
it but I loved that vanilla like taste
so then put it all in the blender blend
it up and make that milk let's get
started
okay that should be good again I blended
it until it was smooth it took about two
minutes to blend just so you guys know
it's really smooth so now we're gonna
pour this into a bowl and I used we're
gonna use a nut milk bag and I took a
nut milk bag and I just kind of lined
this bowl with it
hopefully this bowl is big enough this
is a nut milk bag and you can find this
at Whole Foods you can find it online
you could probably find it on Amazon
just google nut milk bag
some other interesting things might come
up who knows but this is what you're
looking for right alright okay so just
go ahead and I'm gonna pour all of this
gorgeous liquid into the bowl into my
bag all the teenage humor I can hear it
you know I was a teenager once and truth
is I still am on the inside so there we
go
and then you're just gonna squeeze out
the rest of the liquid squeeze out every
drop there we go
okay I could probably get a little bit
more out of that but let's take this
video we'll move on so now we have all
of this gorgeous a nut milk right here
I'm just gonna put it in back in this
bowl so you can see it beautiful
beautiful nut milk it's a delicious as I
said this makes about four cups this is
gonna store for about two to three days
and you want to seal it up like I love
to use ball jars which you can find at
your hardware store seal it up in this
and store it in the fridge for up to two
to three days and you have delicious
almond milk you're gonna love it
so much so if you want more recipes you
can go to crazy sexy too strong I hope
