What you will need to make almond milk:
Ingredients
1. 250 grams of Whole Roasted Organic Almonds (At Plenish, we use Spanish Roasted Organic Almonds for flavour and because it’s better for sustainability.)
Almonds should be soaked in cold water overnight before use, and drained.
2. 750 ml of filtered water
3. A pinch of sea salt
You can adjust the amounts to make as much milk as you want. After you have made your first batch, you can also adjust the ratio if you wish. Less water will make thicker almond milk.
Equipment
A Vitamix blender or similar
A muslin cloth or nut milk bag
A bowl or jug
