Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a blender. Start with 4 cups water. Cover and blend on high for 2 minutes until completely smooth. Add the remaining 1 cup water to reach the desired texture.
- Place a nut milk bag or strainer, lined with 2-3 layers of cheesecloth, over a bowl. Pour the mixture through then wring the bag or cheesecloth to squeeze out the remaining liquid from the pulp.

Recipe Notes
For plain almond milk, use just 1 cup almonds and 4-5 cups water.
For a lightly sweetened vanilla almond milk, use the almonds, water, dates, and vanilla extract. For an almond creamer, you can use even less water. Start with 2 1/2 cups and work up to 3 1/2-4 cups water. If on Whole30, omit dates and vanilla extract.
