Up to a few years ago, I was making a homemade almond milk recipe created by Ani Phyo, date sweetened almond milk. However, due to its high carbohydrate content, I switched to unsweetened. Recently, I began adding a bit of stevia to the recipe. I finally found a brand that isn’t bitter, NOW Better Stevia. Now my almond milk is perfect!
Update: I also enjoy using Trader Joe’s Liquid Organic Stevia.

Homemade Almond Milk: Stevia Sweetened
Yield: Makes appx 48 ounces
An easy and delicious sugar-free almond milk recipe using non-bitter stevia.
Ingredients:
25 raw almonds for non-fat quality milk (40 for 1%) (50 for 2%) (60 for full fat) (I like 2/3 cup)
40 oz. (5 cups) water, or as needed
10 ice cubes (optional)
3/4 teaspoon stevia (or sweetener of choice (optional)
Pinch of salt
Instructions:
Add almonds to a glass or bowl and cover with double the height of water. Allow almonds to soak for at least 4 hours.
Rinse several times until water runs clear. You may need to change the container as a thick paste will stick to the bottom of it. Push the almonds out of their skin and discard the skins.
Add almonds and enough water to go above the almonds by about 1/2-inch to a blender. Puree until creamy.
Add 10 ice cubes and enough water to make 48 ounces. Puree until blended.
Add stevia, to taste and blend again.
Strain the mixture, if desired. If I use for baking a chocolate cake, I do not strain it. However, if I use it for a pound cake, I strain it. I don't even strain it when I use the milk in cereal. I enjoy the additional fiber. However, kids will want it strained.
I've tried adding Stevia to store bought almond milk. It clumps together and doesn't mix well.
Do you know why?
Randy,
If you’re trying to add powder to store but almond milk, it’s not dissolving because it probably contains gum. Either add liquid Stevia or purchase the latest been on the market but does not contain any gum at all. I think the name is something like Simply Almond.
