Either you are lactose intolerance, vegan, or want to eat healthy food in general. Sprouted Almond Milk is one of the best ways to go. With only raw almonds, salt, water, and patience, you can make this incredibly healthy milk right in your own kitchen. Besides, you can have your own almond meal at the end as a bonus!

When I learned that the sprouting process helps reduce phytic acid, and makes whole grains, beans, nuts and seeds easier to digest years ago, I tried to buy everything sprouted, including Sprouted Almond Milk. Unfortunately, it’s not easy to find it on the market, and the price is very expensive when you do.

So, I tried to make my own. It turned out easier than I anticipated. Also, the taste of homemade Sprouted Almond Milk is way better without any preservatives, and I can further reduce my packaging used by a lot!

Things you need to make Sprouted Almond Milk:

The ingredients you need

1. 2 cups (256 g) raw almonds, preferably organic
2. 2 TSP (8 g) of good salt.
3. Filtered water for soaking and making the milk.
4. 2 glass jars, lid bands, and screen. (or you can use any makeshift equipment you can find)
5. Patience: it takes 3 days to sprout the almonds.

Note: You can adjust the amount you want to make using this recipe as a guideline.

How:

1. Day 1: put 1 cup (128 g) of the almonds in each jar, add 1 TSP of salt, and cover it with filtered water. Soak it overnight.
2. Day 2: drain the water, rinse well. Lay the jars over a container to catch excess water, and put them in a dark, quiet area to sprout.
3. Day 3: rinse well, and let them sprout for another day.
4. Day 4: rinse them thoroughly. Now you can see some tiny sprouts, and they are ready to make Sprouted Almond Milk. Note: You can remove the skin if you if you want your milk to be extra white, but it takes quite some time to do so.
5. In a blender, put half of the almonds in and add 3 ½ cups (.8 L) of filtered water. Blend it until smooth.
6. Pour it in a nut milk bag or cheesecloth over a bowl, squeeze out as much milk as you can, and save the pulp.
7. Repeat the same with the other half of the almonds.
8. Now you have Sprouted Almond Milk!
9. For the Sprouted Almond Meal, spread a thin layer of the pulp on dehydrator trays, and dehydrate until dry.
10. When it completely dries, grind it in a coffee grinder.
