At a glance
Making homemade almond nut milk involves soaking almonds for about 8 hours ahead of time (the trickiest part is planning ahead), then blending them with fresh water and straining through a nut-milk bag to get silky smooth milk. You'll want a powerful blender and a nut-milk bag to make this worth your while, and don't forget that the leftover pulp is too good to waste.

Soak the nuts
It's important to soak the almonds about 8 hours before you plan to make the milk, so they soften (I usually soak them in the evening and blend in the morning).

Discard the soaking water
Pour away the water the almonds were soaked in. This water contains the so-called inhibitors released from the seeds, which keep the seed dormant until conditions for germination are ideal. These substances aren't good for our bodies.

Put the soaked almonds in the blender, cover with fresh water, add a pinch of salt, and blend.
