Instructions
- 1
If you’re making your own almond milk, soak your almonds overnight in the 6 cups of water (I soak mine in the fridge). If not, you can use store bought almond milk and get right to it, but I would recommend trying to make your own! 🙂 Proceed to directions below.

**NOTE: If making your own almond milk, you will need to purchase a nut milk bag. I bought mine from Ellie’s Best (www.elliesbest.com). USE CODE littlevittles for 10% of your order!
