Uses Of Almond Milk And How To Make It
Almond milk is a versatile drink that can easily be used to substitute cow’s milk.
Below we’ve included some ideas on how to incorporate it into your diet:
- Enjoy it as a refreshing drink
- Put it in your cereal, muesli, or oats
- Substitute dairy milk with the almond one for tea, coffee, or hot chocolate
- Add it to your smoothies
- Add it to your cooking and baking, including pancakes
- Add it to soups, sauces, or dressings
- Make some homemade ice cream
To make 2 cups of almond milk, you just need two ingredients: almonds and water! You’ll require a nut milk bag and a blender.
- Soak a 1/2 cup of some raw almonds and leave overnight.
- In your blender, add the soaked almonds with 2 cups of water and blend the mixture until it’s milky and creamy.
- Pour your blend into a nut milk bag and strain over a large bowl.
- Squeeze out any of the excess moisture until most of the milk has been separated from the pulp.
You can make your almond milk thinner or thicker by adjusting the quantity of water you put in. Add a bit of salt or a drizzle of honey to enrich the flavor if you choose. Note: You can keep the milk for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.

Been using almond milk for several years. Really love it in my morning coffee.
I like almond milk in my coffee, but I cannot do unsweetened. I switched from coffee, mate to silk, almond milk, crème brûlée or vanilla. This is great and much better and lower in calories than what I was previously using. But unsweetened I tried, and cannot do in my coffee.
My son was put on a Low Carb diet to help with seizure control by his neurologist he recommended Unsweetened almond milk because it was low in carbs. Just so happened that I had been having digestion problems, my gastroenterologist told me that as we age we loose the ability to breakdown milk proteins so he suggested that I try Soy milk. I tried for a year but the matter only got worse! So I switched to Almond milk along with my son, and have had no problems.
Dairy is a mucus producing item. If one had sinus problems, almond milk WILL be your friend.
