I know that store-bought almond milk is a convenient dairy-free alternative. And I would be lying if I said I never buy the stuff myself.
But what if I told you that the homemade stuff tastes better than store bought and is most likely cheaper?
Yeah. I did the math* and realized I was saving money by making
my own almond milk and keeping the ingredients:
