Vitamix Tips
- You may soak almonds in cold water for 4 hours or overnight. Dates were used to sweeten the milk, but feel free to try honey or other sweeteners instead. To make vanilla almond milk, add vanilla extract or fresh vanilla bean. If you want to strain your milk, place a fine mesh sieve over a large bowl. Pour almond milk slowly into the sieve, allowing it to filter through, or stir the milk in the sieve with a spatula to encourage it to pass through more rapidly.
