Nena's Homemade Raw Almond Milk
Making almond milk yourself is not only less expensive -- it can be healthier. Some commerical almond milks have carrageenan added as a stablizer. And carrageenan is a known carcinogen. It's easy to make your own to your specific tastes.

Next day throw the water away and rinse one more time
