Time: 2 minutes
Yield: 3 1/2 cups (840 ml)
Speed: Variable to High

Ingredients:
3 cups (720 ml) water
1 cup (140 g) raw almonds or cashews
sugar or sweetener, to taste (optional)

Directions:
1. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure lid.
2. Select Variable 1.
3. Turn machine on and quickly increase speed to Variable 10, then to High.
4. Blend for 2 minutes or until desired consistency is reached.

Note: If you desire to strain away sediment, place a fine mesh sieve over a large bowl. Pour almond milk slowly into sieve and allow to filter through, or stir the milk in the sieve with a spatula to encourage it to pass through more rapidly. Do not strain if using cashews.
