Notes
Keep the almond pulp and dehydrate it to use as defatted almond meal in other recipes, like our Vegan Berry Smoothie, Almond Hummus, Almond Facial, and Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies.
A friend that’s been making her own almond milk for months recently started making it from Raw Organic Almond Butter with great results. No overnight soaking necessary. I’ve tried hers and it tastes just like the overnight soak whole almonds method. It’s cheaper overall than using the whole organic almonds.
I just bought my PRECIOUS Blendtec at the Costco N.O.,LA grand opening this passed weekend. So I’ll be making my first Almond milk tonight!
Do you know how long this will keep in the refrigerator?
No need to soak them if you put them in boiling hot water for a minute. Just take them out and when they are cool enough you can pinch each almond and it will come flying out of the skin. This eliminates the need for straining. Although, it does take some time to squeeze every nut. It can be kinda fun. I’m not sure if it wouldn’t be easier to just strain the whole batch at the end. You may try timing both to see which is quicker. Hope this helps.
We don’t have a recipe on this, but many people will put the pulp in their dehydrator to turn it into almond meal or flour. It sounds like we need to do some more research and write a blog post on this.
I drink the pulp too
