Soak the raw almonds for at least 8 hours and, preferably overnight. Make sure there is enough water coverage to allow for the almond water absorption.

Once soaked, peel the skins off under a running cold water tap.

Once peeled dry the almonds on kitchen paper and then place in a bowl.

When ready to make the almond milk add the nuts and around double the amount in cold water to your blender and blend until smooth.

Now, pass the smooth liquid through a fine sieve or some muslin cloth making sure to squeeze the last of the milk our from the mixture.

And there you have it. You have made your own almond milk. Why not now make a healthy smoothie.
