Raw Almond Milk

4-5 cups filtered water
1 cup soaked raw almonds (soak 8-12 hours)
3 Tbs raw agave nectar OR 2-3 pitted dates
1-1/2 tsp vanilla flavor
1/8 tsp sea salt

Combine the water, almonds and dates (if you're using them) in a blender, and process until smooth. Strain through a cheese cloth and set aside the pulp for another recipe. Rinse ot the blender jar and pout the milk back into it. Add the remaining ingredients and process until smooth and creamy. Note: I usually just add the agave nectar, vanilla and salt to the milk in the container that I've strained it into and use a wire whip to mix it in.
