From The Cookbook: Eat Better, Feel Better

This easy Giada almond milk is one of my favorites when I want something quick, refreshing, and totally delicious. It takes just 3 ingredients and comes together in about 4 hours and 2 minutes (including soaking).

I love how the flavors pop—especially with raw almonds and the nutty taste of the milk. To make it extra special, I like to add a slice of fruit. It’s simple, fun, and always makes me feel like I’m treating myself.

Recipe Ingredients

• 1 cup raw almonds
• Pinch of kosher salt (optional)
• 3 cups water

How To Make Giada almond milk

1. Soak the Almonds: Submerge the almonds in a bowl of water, making sure they’re covered by 2 inches. Let them hang out at room temperature for 4 hours or chill in the fridge overnight.
2. Puree the Almonds: Drain and rinse the almonds, then toss them into a blender with 3 cups fresh water and a pinch of salt (if using). Blend on high for 2 minutes, until it’s silky smooth.
3. Strain and Store: Strain the mixture through a nut-milk bag or a cheesecloth-lined strainer, squeezing out as much liquid as possible. Store the almond milk in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Recipe Tips

• **Flavor Boost:** Enhance the flavor of your Giada almond milk by adding a pinch of sea salt and a drizzle of honey, which brings out the natural sweetness and creaminess of the almonds.
• **Exploring Variations:** Step up your Giada almond milk by experimenting with unique flavor combinations, such as cinnamon and nutmeg, or raspberries and coconut flakes, which will create a deliciously refreshing treat.
• **Making it Creamier:** To give your Giada almond milk an ultra-creamy texture, add a tablespoon of tapioca starch and blend until smooth, or use a high-speed blender with a built-in heating function.
• **Preserving Freshness:** Extend the shelf life of your Giada almond milk by storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator and giving it a good stir before using, which ensures flavor and texture consistency.
• **Ice Cream Base:** Transform your Giada almond milk into a delicious ice cream base by mixing in a sweetener of your choice and freezing, then blend into a creamy and indulgent treat using a food processor or blender.
