soak unpasteurized almonds approx. 4 hours in filtered water (none grown in USA by FDA law--I order mine online at www.livingnutz.com)
dates (I soak these at the same time/same water as the almonds)
rinse and drain--you MUST, MUST, MUST take the pits out of the dates or they will ruin your blender
put almonds and pitted dates in blender, start slow add water slowly
using a hemp bag (or if you have cheesecloth it works too)--"milk" out the liquid
the left over fiber from the nuts can be used later in raw dessert recipes
add a pinch of coarse sea salt
enjoy!

Approx what proportions of almonds/dates/water would you say you use? How long will this keep in the fridge. I'd love to stop buying the store bought jugs of almond milk, and wondering how large of a batch I can get away with making at a time. :-)
