Too*
I make almond milk all the time, but i’ve found that adding unsweetened cocounut to it gives it a much richer flavor, and makes it unnecessary to add the vanilla.
Has anyone tried using the leftover almond pulp to make almond butter?
I bought a great nut bag from Amazon and it works so much better than cheesecloth. Easy to clean also. I make my almond milk just like Holly above and it is great. As she said no need to remove the skins. The almond meal left is usable (after drying in oven) for coating for fish, chicken, etc. or can be ground into almond flour using your Blendtec.
Does anyone use the meal left over from the milk?
