Moreso, almond milk has its own unique flavor. It is often described as being light and crisp. Almond milk is also versatile. Hence, you can use it in several recipes that call for cow milk. Although the taste will differ, it will still give you the same consistency.
Here is how you can make yours:Â
- Remove the skin of the almonds. Firstly, soak the almonds in water for 8 – 12 hours or overnight.
- Put the soaked almonds in a blender. Add 4 cups of water and mix until smooth.Â
- Finally, remove the solids by straining the mixture through a nut milk bag or cheesecloth.
