How to Prepare Cherry Almond Milk [Vegan]

First, soak your almonds in cold water for 24 hours or more. Drain the almonds and give them a good rinse. Don’t skip this step! Soft almonds make for creamy almond milk.
Add the water, almonds, cherries, maple syrup, almond extract, and salt to a blender container.
Secure the lid and blend at medium to high speed until completely smooth. This will take 1-2 minutes in a high-powered blender or longer in a standard blender.
Pour the milk through a nut bag fitted over a pitcher. Use your hands to squeeze all the milk through the nut bag, leaving the pulp behind.
Save the pulp for smoothies, snacking, etc.
Store in a clean glass jar in the refrigerator for up to a week!
