Add your almonds to a large bowl or glass container and cover with hot water. Allow them to soak for at least 1 to 2 hours. Alternatively, you can add cold water and soak them in the fridge overnight.
Drain the water and transfer the soaked almonds to a high-speed blender.
Add 6 cups of filtered water, a tiny pinch of sea salt, a pitted date, and vanilla extract.
Process until very well blended, about 1-2 minutes.
Lay a straining bag over a large jug and pour in the blended almond mixture.
Squeeze to extract all the white nut milk.
Keep your almond milk refrigerated for up to 5 days. (Use within 5 days)
Just before serving, stir to combine again.
You can use the leftover almond meal to make protein balls, add to smoothies, or oatmeal.
Enjoy!
