Tools needed to make homemade almond milk

I've had this Nutr Machine for a while now, and it's honestly the best at making small batches of homemade almond milk. The most you'll want to make in it is 2 cups because, after that, some of the froth may spill out.

Also, since this almond milk is preservative-free, it won't last that long. You'll want to drink it quickly, and making large batches might lead to waste.

This machine is able to make a bunch of different types of milk. So be on the lookout for more recipes soon.

How to make Almond Milk

1. Blend the almonds. Add all ingredients into your Nutr Machine or nut milk maker and run on the Room Temperature setting. This will make it nice and smooth. This takes about 5 minutes.
2. Strain the milk. There will be almond residue at the bottom of the almond milk. Strain the milk into a container. You may need to clean the strainer once or twice when pouring it into your container.
