Blend at high-speed for 3-4 minutes.
Place a cheese cloth over a large bowl and carefully pour the blended mixture over it.
Gently squeeze the cheesecloth to extract the last bit of milk.

Notes
NOTE:
You can peel the soaked almonds after rinsing them well, then grind them with water. No straining is required!
Save the leftover almond meal. Spread it out in a pan and roast in a 180C oven for about 20 minutes till dry and golden. Sprinkle on top of your smoothies, and cereal; add in your baking, or curries or even in place of breadcrumbs. No food waste!!
