Homemade Almond Milk

Paris has been a Trippin’ with Tara contributor for a little bit now, but our lives have been busy so it’s been a bit since she’s had a chance to drop by.

I’m excited about this one. Definitely worth the time (which took 30 minutes to make 2 gallons!).

* You can sweeten with vanilla bean, cinnamon, dates, agave or honey. But I don’t, since I add all that when I make smoothies.
* For the chocolate version, once done, add to an entire blender, 3 teaspoons cacao powder, 1 tsp honey, cinnamon, and a good pinch of fine sea salt.
