Pinch of cinnamon for 3-4 minutes un l it is completely smooth and
frothy.
At this point we may stop the process of making
almond milk as we have got a substance with the
color and consistency of milk. But all the almond
solids in the milk tend to give it a chalky texture, so
for a smoother, creamier milk, strain the almond
milk.
You can strain it with cheesecloth or a strainer.
Refrigerate it immediately. You may use it for
approximately 2-3 days.

prevent the lid from blas ng off.
Add remaining water and blend more for 2-3
minutes.
Now, sieve the mixture with cheesecloth or a fine
sieve.
Pour the thick milk into a bo le. Refrigerate and
you may use it for 2-3 days. You may add water to

out very smooth. For super smooth milk, strain with
a nut milk bag or a strainer.
Tip: If you're using this milk for smoothies and soups, there is no need to add any sweeteners or flavor
enhancers. But if you are using it for fruits, you might want to jazz it up a bit. You can flavor the
