- ½ cup almonds optional: soaked over night for a creamier almond milk
- 2 cups water
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ cup maple syrup

- Before discarding the almond meal, press it against the strainer with the back of a spoon to get every last drop of almond milk. Discard almond meal or use for another purpose.
