Cover the almonds with water and let soak for 10 hours.
After 10 hours strain and rinse.
Place them in a blender with 3-4 cups of water and a squirt of maple syrup if using.
Blend on high for 4 minutes. Let settle for a minute then blend again for 2 minutes.
Pour into a cheesecloth lined colander that is placed over a bowl.
After a few minutes gather up the cheese cloth and squeeze it well getting every last bit of the milk. Place the ground almonds in a bowl and set aside.
