Discard the soaking water and rinse the almonds really well. Next add them to the blender or food processor with 2 1/2 cups of fresh filtered water, date(s), vanilla (if you want) and salt. Blend for at least 2 mins on high and then run through the nut bag. It’s messy, see my video! But you will end up with really yummy simple almond mylk that lasts about a week.
