Almond milk

Ok, first of all, I know that I haven't posted anything in awhile. However this one should save you a ton of money. So, here is what you need:

2 handfuls of plain almonds
2 quarts of water
1.5 tablespoons of agave nectar
1 cheesecloth to strain
1 rubber band

Soak your almonds for a minimum of four hours or a maximum of 8. Strain out the water of the almonds and pour into a blender with 2 cups of water. Blend this mixture for a couple of minutes. Pour in the rest of the water and blend for another minute. Put the cheesecloth over a container that will be holding the milk and hold into place with the rubber band and strain the almond pulp from the milk. When finished, squeeze the cheesecloth to drain out the remaining almond bits. Stir in the agave nectar, pour and enjoy or store in the refrigerator. You can also try adding some vanilla if you wish.
