Drain water. Blend almonds and 3 cups water in a blender on low speed for 10 seconds. Turn blender off for 5 seconds. Blend almonds and water on high speed for 60 seconds. Pour mixture through cheesecloth or a nut bag into a bowl.  Discard the pulp or save for another use. Clean the blender and return milk to blender; add agave nectar (or substitute honey) and salt. Blend milk until smooth.     Enjoy this healthy and delicious almond milk.                                                                               _______________________________________   Printable Recipe Makes 2 servings Ingredients: 1 cup raw almonds water to cove
