- Put the water and almonds mixture in a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Strain the blended almonds through cheesecloth.
- Drink the almond milk as is or you could put over cereal or use it in a Paleo Diet Smoothie. Use the beverage as you would regular milk.
- You can add a little vanilla extract and honey to the mixture while it blends.
- Blend frozen fruit with the almonds and you can make fruit-flavored almond milk.
