Raw Almond Milks

Raw Strawberry Almond Milk
Makes about 4 cups

1 cup raw almonds, soaked 8 hours in filtered water and drained
3 cups filtered water
1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
2 Tbsp raw coconut nectar (or sweetener of your choice) or to taste
1 cup fresh strawberries

In a high speed blender, process the almonds with the water for a minute, then pour into a nut milk bag over a large bowl with a pour spout.  Squeeze the bag to get all the liquid out, then save the almond pulp (the solids left in the bag) for another use and pour the liquid back into the blender.  Add the strawberries, coconut nectar, and vanilla to the milk in the blender and process until smooth.  Serve!  Store extra in the fridge for up to a week.
