DIY almond milk lasts 4-5 days
Make sure to fully sterilize your equipment before use by running it through the dishwasher or pouring boiling water in your jars (make sure the jars aren’t too cold when you do this or they may crack). Also, make sure to soak your almonds overnight in the fridge rather than at room temperature.
Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened coconut shreds
5 cups hot water (not boiling)
1 cup strawberries
Directions
Add coconut shreds to a bowl, cover with water, and soak for 2 hours.
Add to a blender with strawberries and blend for 2 minutes, until
milky and smooth. Taste and adjust water/sweetener as needed.
Line a large bowl or pitcher with a nut milk bag and pour mixture
into bag to strain it. Use your hands to squeeze out as much liquid as
possible, leaving the pulp in the bag. Save the pulp for smoothies, or
you can dry it out and use it as nut flour in baked goods!
Transfer strained coconut milk to an airtight container and refrigerate.
Use immediately, or store for 3-4 days. If it starts to separate, just give
it a shake!
