Making homemade almond milk is so simple and affordable that it’s really unnecessary to buy it in the grocery store. It’s worth trying to make at home, at least once, so you understand the difference between homemade almond milk and shelf-stable almond milk from a carton. When you make almond milk at home, stripped down to its bare essentials (nuts and water), it becomes more than just almond water.

Basically, this mean any type of "butter" like peanut butter, almond butter, any type of nut butter - they are all made the same way as peanut butter - can be used in a blender to make instant "nut" type milk. Instead of buying the expensive nut-milk in the supermarket, just buy the nut butter and add water, mix them and your drink is ready. Just look what type of nut-butter the supermarket provides to have the taste you want. Really inspiring :-)
Excellent instruction and comparison! Thank you!
Thank you so much for the kind words, John!
Here's what I did after Hurricane Ian when we had no electricity for almost a month and I don't have room to store boxes of shelf stable almond milk.
I used a protein powder shaker, the one with the steel ball.
For this method use almond butter that has no other ingredients, no salt no sugar or anything like that and also try to use creamy almond butter.
First you need to stir the almond butter real good because it separates since it has no oils or anything like that added.
I like mine a little bit stronger so I used 1 tbsp of almond butter + 3/4 cup to 1 cup water, put that in the protein shaker and shook the hell out of it for about several minutes.
I also added a pinch of Himalayan pink salt, 1/4 tsp vanilla extract, a few stevia drops and 1/8 tsp xanthan gum.
If you find it too gritty, shake just the water and almond butter first and then strain it through a fine mesh strainer, pour it back into the shaker and add any additional ingredients and shake a little more.
This is absolutely 💯!!! great. I drink Elmhurst Almond Milk and love it. Looking forward to make it. Thank you!
You're very welcome :) I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
I am grateful for another wonderful instructional video, Petra. Now that I have a Vitamix Ascent 3500, I plan on making these recipes in the near future. Thank you for everything!
You're very welcome! Oh yes, the A3500 is the best!!
VITAMIX IS OVERRATED AND EXPENSIVE, NUTRABULLET IS ALL YOU NEED
Terrific! I didn't know about the last two. Thank you so much 💓
Thank you so much, Isabella! I am glad you learned something new from my video :)
Same; this video is so helpful!
Hi, I was aware and familiar with method number 1. Who would have thought you could make almond milk from almond butter or flour. Thank you for educating me. Great video with step by step instruction.🥰😊🥰
Thank you, Jo! I am really happy you learned something new from this video :)
FULL OF OXALATES WHICH IS POISON TO THE BODY, STICK TO OATSMILK
Same with me. Almond butter wasn't even considered before this because the quality types are quite pricey. Using almond flour didn't occur to me until I looked around for coconut milk made from unsweetened coconut and water. I only need to glass or two on occasion and even the !liter cartons, once opened, go bad in a few days. I'd rather make a small amount as needed than toss out a half or quarter carton.
Beautiful video and very relaxing to watch❤️ thank you
Thank you for the kind words!!
Thank you for this video !
Amazing video n very informative too! Also, it looked like those calming videos that are on utube. ❤️
Aw, thank you! I'm so happy you enjoyed the video!❤️
Petra, I wish you lived next door to me. I have been out of almonds when a recipe called for it and I've used store bought when in a rush 😭 but I had almond butter and almond flour and NEVER thought to use it. Thanks to your straight to the point videos I am learning so much!!! I was looking forward to Tanner's review of which milk tasted best 😀
Thank you, Nadia (I'm pretty sure that sometimes you go under Nadine - which one do you prefer?) Anyway, I am really happy you learned something new from this video :) I like almond milk from whole almonds the best although I do use the other versions in a pinch when I run out of whole almonds/
@@NutritionRefined Nadine is my name 👍🏾
This is GOLD thank you ❤
You're very welcome. Thank you for the kind comment!
I didnt know i coul make it even from flour! What a surprise!
I found a meditation video that teaches how to make Almond Milk. Thank you Guruji!
stellar
Thank you!
Hi! Thanks for sharing the info. Could you please let me know how many parts of almonds and water are needed for the classic method? I did not find any amounts in the recipe. Thanks again!
Yay! Almond flour!
So relaxing and helpful. Thank you!
Very nice 💐
Thank you so much, Rose!
Thank you for sharing! I referred to your website but didn't see how much almond butter to water to use, or almond flour to water. Thank you so much.
Hi Wendy - I am so sorry! I forgot to update it. 1 cup of whole almonds yields ~ 1 1/4 cup of almond flour, so I would use that amount with 3-4 cups of water (depending on what you want to use the almond milk for). Since almond flour doesn't produce as creamy milk as whole almonds, I typically use 3 cups of water when using almond flour. For the almond butter version, I go with 1/4 cup of almond butter and 2-3 cups of water.
@@NutritionRefined Thank you so much! You are the only person that has shared making almond milk this way. :)
Hi! Thank you for the video! In the third method you said the flour should have all the fat, why? I bought a defatted flour because it has more protein.
Gratitude 4 ur vids & content! Teaching me how 2 be Vegan! Thank U!
Thank you so much for watching! I am glad the vides are helpful :)
Excellent video! I love how you explained evertything❤️ I have almond meal that has to be used. I went to your blog but I don't see a recipe for the almond meal method. Also if I want to add hemp seeds how much should I use?
Or do you have a recipe for almond/hemp see or macadamia nuts/hemp seed?
I am so sorry for the late reply, Karen! By almond meal, I am assuming you have ground up almonds, not almond meal from almond pulp. If you have ground up almonds, you would use a bit more than when using whole almonds. So, instead of 1 cup of almonds to 4 cups of water, you would use 1 1/4 cups of ground almonds (almond meal) to 1 cup of water. If you're also adding hemp seeds, they will make the milk creamier, so depending on how much, you could scale down on the almond meal. Let me know if you have any questions :)
@@NutritionRefined thank for replying back. Ok, I'll use my almond meal, which I bought at the store but a recipe but didn't work out. About how much. Hemp seeds do you suggest? 2 tbsp?
@@KarenLeon457 The amount of hemp seeds is really up to you. You could make 100% hemp milk with just hemp hearts or do 50% hemp and 50% almond or if you just want to boost the protein content, go for 1 cup almond meal, 1/4 cup hemp hearts, and 4 cups of water. If you don't want to taste the hemp at all, just add a couple of tablespoons of hemp to 1 1/4 cups of almond meal and 4 cups of water.
@@NutritionRefined thank you so much for all your help.❤️ I definitely want a protein rich milk😁❤️
but uh, cute smile :)
and thanks for the recipes!
How did you get the water and almond flour to blend in so much?? I can't seem to get it like that. Mine always looks like i just added almond flour to water
Hi Petra, I recently subscribed to your channel and am eager to explore the cookbooks and tutorials you mentioned and offering under each video. However, I'm having trouble accessing them. Could you please guide me on how I can get hold of the materials? Thank you kindly
Yes, for sure. Can you try this link? nutritionrefined.com/free-cookbook (that should take you to a form where you put your email address and the cookbook and tutorials will be emailed to you). Please let me know if it doesn't work for you for some reason.
Just a quick question for the almond flour milk are the measurements the same as with raw almonds?
HI Curtis - my apologies for not specifying that. Yes! You could just use 1 cup of ground almonds to 4 cups of water (or if you'd like creamier milk 3 cups of water).
Great Video :)!
How many cups of water per teaspoon (or was it a tablespoon) did you use for the almondbutter - milk- version :)?
Thanks in advance for your answer.
Have a wonderful and hopefully sunny day :D!!!
Hi Eli - thank you! It was actually a big serving spoon. I typically use 1/4 cup of almond butter for 3 cups of water.
@@NutritionRefined thank you :D! I'll try this almond milk version tomorrow, I'm already looking forward to it :)!!!
Thank you. How mich almonds and water you use for the traditional recipe? :))
Hi Madalena - it honestly depends on what I am using the milk for, but typically it's 4 cups of water to 1 cup of almonds.
@@NutritionRefined I think you mean the other way round; 1 cup of almonds and 4 cups of water.
@@Sergio2006A Ooops! I just fixed it :) Thank you for catching that!
Do you refrigerate it? How long can it stay fresh? Thank you.
Yes, need to be refrigerated..stay fresh 2-3 days
Please i recently found this beautiful recipe channel. Is this raw almonds???
Yes, I used raw almonds.
Nice! How many almonds and how much water? Thanks.
I have the exact amounts on my blog: nutritionrefined.com/homemade-almond-milk/ (1 cup almonds and 4 cups water or 1/4 cup almond butter and 3 cups of water)
Can I use the same water used to soak the almonds, for the Milk? For not wasting some almonds nutrients in that water? or it Is not safe to do that?
A part of the reason why to soak almonds in water is that soaking releases tannins contained in the skin of the almonds. Tannins can cause almonds to taste bitter. When soaking almonds in water the tannins get released into the water. In addition, soaking almonds releases phytates as well as cyanide compounds which are not desired. So, drinking the almond soaked water will defeat the benefits of soaking the almonds.
May i know the almond powder that you use , is it raw?
It was finely ground blanched almonds.
Is it okay to drink if we don't filter it out with the cloth??
Sure. If you don't mind the pulp, you can definitely drink it without straining it.
How much almond to one liter of water
I used 1 cup of almonds and 4 cups of water.
I'm a vegan, but I'm self-critical enough to call this MYLK (not milk).
Türkçe çeviri istiyorum
I wish, but I don't speak Turkish :(
I'm assuming that I don't have to soak the blanched almonds. I bought blanched almonds to make almond milk. I do drink cows milk. I would only drink this once in a while because I do like the taste.
That's correct. You don't need to soak blanched almonds.
@@NutritionRefined I looked at the recipe to print but couldn't find how much almond butter to use for making the instant. 1 tablespoon? Two? And then how much water?
@@1Hope4All I am so sorry - I just updated the recipe box on my blog! For the almond butter version, I typically use 1/4 cup of almond butter and 3 cups of water. However, just like with classic almond milk, you can use more or less, depending on your preference.

Thank you Dragana!

You should have told the ratio of almonds to water.
I have the exact amounts on my blog: nutritionrefined.com/homemade-almond-milk/ (1 cup almonds and 4 cups water or 1/4 cup almond butter and 3 cups of water)
@@NutritionRefinedWhat about for the almond flour? I went to your blog but didn't see it listed.
It's not as Nutritious as they say there more sugar in a litre than there is in a 600ml of coke
Sugar where? Sorry don't understand your comment
You need to address & fix your kids unhealthy eating habits, that you created. That’s NOT ok.
You mean drinking almond milk?
@@NutritionRefined I think Codex refers to that thing you said that your kids won't want to drink it if it's slightly brown.
@@Sergio2006A Yea, my son is 4, so it's a struggle to get him to try something he doesn't find appealing enough. I am fine straining the almond milk for him as long as he doesn't complain about eating his vegetables ;)
You are quick to jump to assumptions. No doubt her kids are more healthy than most.
