Vanilla & Agave Almond Milk

2 cups raw organic almonds, soaked in fresh water for 24-48 hours (rinsing water periodically)
4 cups fresh water
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon agave nectar

After the almonds are done soaking, rinse, and place them into a blender with 4 cups fresh water, blend for several minutes until fully smooth. Pour almond milk through a cheese cloth over a large measuring cup or bowl, and allow to drain. Use your hands to help “milk” the last of the liquids from the cheese cloth. To the strained milk, add vanilla extract and agave nectar, whisk well. Refrigerate until cool. Use for cereals, smoothies, or with organic chocolate cookies. It is surprisingly good, and satisfying to know how your “milk”has been processed, and what ingredients have been used.
