Steps:
- Place almonds and vanilla bean in a bowl; add enough water to cover completely. Place dates in a separate bowl and add enough water to cover completely. Soak almonds and dates at room temperature, 8 hours to overnight.
- Drain and discard soaking water from almonds and rinse almonds thoroughly. Drain water from dates and keep water to add to the almond milk, if desired.
- Combine soaked almonds, vanilla bean, dates, and sea salt in a blender; pour in 3 cups water. Blend on high for 1 minute. Let sit to allow foam to subside, about 1 minute. Add remaining 1 cup water and some of the date water for extra sweetness; blend until almond milk is smooth, about 1 minute.
- Place a nut milk bag in a quart-size measuring cup or large bowl. Pour almond milk into the bag and lift to drain. Gently squeeze the bag to extract as much milk as possible. Store almond milk in the refrigerator.

HOMEMADE ICE MILK. -VANILLA, CHOCOLATE, ALMOND, FRUIT CHOICES
Ice Milk is not ice cream but it will give you the feeling of the frozen treat with far more ease and no machine needed. When it comes out all frozen, let it sit for a few minutes in the sun and then stir it up, it is much more like ice cream at that point. Even better, you can make as much as you want at a time :) For the flavorings, add to your taste, obviously if you choose fresh fruit you may want more than an extract flavoring. Cooking time is actually time to freeze.

Steps:
- Choose a bowl or ceramic mug, any container that can be frozen and will hold as much as you make. If its tupperware and you choose to use the lid, remember it will be harder to remove when frozen, otherwise use plastic wrap. (told you this is easy :) ).
- Mix all ingredients in the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap.
- Place in the freezer overnight.
- Next day, let it sit in sun for a few minutes then stir it and you will have ice milk. Until then it just looks like frozen ice lol.
