Make Your Own Organic Almond Milk for Pennies

Wow, I am so excited, I came across this article, on how to make your own, "Almond Milk" for Pennies. I had no idea that I could make this at home, and God knows I never dreamed it would be this cheap to make either! I am so happy, I hope my family is happy too. I am thinking about making it the first time, while I am home alone then sneaking it into the Silk carton. That way I'll see if they can taste the difference or not. I LOVE Almond Milk, we buy Silk which can be pretty expensive the cheapest I've found it without coupons is at Sams. Since I can't drink milk and as I get older it just gets harder and harder for me to drink milk at all so I tried Almond Milk not to long ago and I loved it. I also love that it's very low calorie and it's very good for you too. Well any how I'll shut up now and give you the directions and link to where I found the recipe.
