Sometimes you need some nondairy milk and you don’t have time to wait for your nuts to soak. This is a quick and easy way that will give you a quart (946 ml) of nondairy milk in less time than it takes to go to the store. You can use it plain for cooking or flavor it up and drink it as dessert. Please note that there are no nutritionals for this recipe because it really depends on your blending and straining. If you use a nut milk bag it should be close in calories to store-bought almond milk.

Optional Extra Credit
I like to slip them out of their skins and discard for smoother milk, but you can leave them on if you prefer. If you take them off the milk will be whiter.
For the Blender
Add the almonds and the 4 cups (946 ml) water to your blender and blend well. Strain through a nut milk bag and store in the refrigerator.
The recipe makes an unsweetened plain nondairy milk
