A Recipe for Almond Milk?

Question

I want to create my own almond milk at home. Do you have any recipes or suggestions on how to go about making it?

Answer 1

Yes, just a minute.....Blanch 1/4 cup almonds by adding them to large skillet containing 1/2 inch boiling water, allowing them to sit in the water as it boils for about 30 seconds. The skins will loosen noticeably. Drain and pop skins off. Place blanched almonds in blender with 1 cup cold water. Run blender at high speed for 2-3 minutes until a thick white milk has formed. If you are going to drink almond milk straight, strain it through a fine sieve. If there is a lot of pulp, you have not blended long enough. If you are going to use the milk in a shake, there is no need to strain. (you can use seeds also for this recipe). You can mix it with strawberries, bananas, or just maple syrup.

Answer 2

I have a Soya Joy soy milk maker. I use that for almond milk.

You have to soak the almonds, then grind them, then boil them, then strain out the almond bits. 1/2 a cup of almonds to a quart of water.

Don't add sugar. Go for Barley Malt. It's not too sweet and has good vitamins.

I love my soya joy. I make soy milk, rice milk, grain milk, nut milk and tofu with it.

Answer 3

this is what I use...simple and delicious!

1 cup almonds (you may blanch to remove skins if you like)
3 cups water
1 teaspoon honey
Add ingredients to blender. Process at low speed for 1 minute, and 3 minutes at high speed until smooth. Strain the mixture through cheese cloth to remove remaining solids.
Refrigerate until ready to use.

Answer 4

I've never even heard of Almond milk but I suppose you can get some almond extract from the baking aisle of your grocery store and add a few drops of that to your milk.
