Almond Milk Recipe from Rawsome! by Brigette Mars

1 cup almonds, soaked overnight, then rinsed
1 quart water
Honey (or anything else you care to add) to taste

Combine all ingredients in a blender and liquify.
Strain through a nut milk bag or sprout bag.  I had a hard time finding either in Boulder (go figure) so I just used an old, clean pantyhose.
Store in the refrigerator.  Lasts about a week.
