Five hundred millilitres of almonds were processed into milk. The almonds were blended in two batches of 250 ml each with water. The mixture was then cooked until all the air was removed. This takes about 15 minutes. The cooked almonds were strained and the milk was placed in litre jars , and stored in the refrigerator for use over the next week. The strained residue was made into pilot bread using blender made whole wheat flour. All the almond parts were therefore utilized.

All I do is use it exactly like milk. I put it in my coffee, on my cooked oats in the morning, and sometimes drink half a glass. The almonds are simply beat in the blender with water as small as possible and then cooked until all the air is removed. Now, I don't even bother straining it. I find it a great way to eat almonds, and it seems to be quite rich-meaning satisfying the appetite. It is probably called milk, since it is white in colour. It could just be called another nourishing food.

Hi,

Wasn't almond milk used in a lot of mediaeval recipes as a thickening agent?
