Almond Milk Creamer Another delicious non-dairy option is Almond milk creamer.

Ingredients: 1 Cup Raw Almonds 3 ½ Cups Water ½ Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract 2 Teaspoons Maple Syrup Pinch of salt (to taste) First place the Almonds in a jar and add 2 Cups of Water. Seal the jar and let the Almonds soak. The longer you soak the almonds, the creamier your creamer will be, so you want to soak it for up to 48 hours. But be careful not to soak them longer than 48 hours! They will spoil and it is quite a nasty mess to clean up. If you let the Almonds soak for 48 hours (as we recommend) the water will need to be changed after twelve hours. Once the Almonds have soaked, drain the jar and rinse the Almonds. Put the Almonds and 1 ½ Cup of Water into a food processor or blender. Puree the blend until the Almonds have been pulverized and the mixture is white. Put a nut milk bag in a bowl, then pour the pureed almond blend into the bag. Lift the bag and squeeze to get all the milk out of the almonds. If you don't have a nut bag, you can use a cheese cloth. If you do not have either of those, coffee filters will work really well too! Finally, stir in the Vanilla, Maple Syrup, and Salt, and set it to chill. This creamer will last up to a week in the refrigerator - if you don’t drink it first! There will be leftover almond pulp, which you can just throw away. But if you are feeling creative and thrifty, try using it to make raw almond flour. This can be used to make all sorts of healthy goodies, like almond bread, breakfast bars, or even almond hummus!
