Almond Milk - Take 2

I made some more Almond Milk yesterday. I think it turned out a bit better. It was a little thicker, more like milk. This time:

Almond Milk

1. Soak 2 cups of almonds in water overnight in the frig.
2. The next day, rinse well with fresh water.
3. Put 1 cup of almonds in blender, add 1 cup of water. Blend until it's as smooth as you can get it.
4. Drain "milk" from almonds. I use a strainer covered with cheesecloth, although I hope to get a nut bag sometime soon, hopefully, it will be less messy. Set aside nut pulp.
5. Repeat with remaining almonds.
6. Add 1/2 t. vanilla extract.

I noticed that it smells a bit sour, not sure if that's normal, but it seems to taste ok. I saw a recipe in which someone added dates, I guess to sweeten. I think I might try that.

With the leftover almond pulp, I dried it in a 170 degree F oven. I'm not sure how long it was since Carlos took over for me. I put it in an airtight container and stored it in the frig.
