Home-made almond milk

As much as I believe that plant-based milks are wayyyyyyyyy better for your health than cow's milk, I can understand, that they are not affordable for all. The plant-based alternatives of milks can be 3x more expensive, than the regular cow's milks.. 
However, making almond milk at home could be a great solution for you:) It is really very very easy to make.  All you will need is a quite good blender and a fine strainer, or cheesecloth. You can use any nut you like, hazelnuts work very well too :)

What will you need:
- 1.5 cups of almonds
- 3 cups of water (plus water for soaking)
- 3-4 dates
- 1/4 tsp of vanilla
- 1/4 tsp of cinnamon
- a pinch of nutmeg
- a pinch of salt
- some maple syrup, if you like the milk more sweet 

Method: 

Enjoy :)
