This will sweeten and cream up your almond milk a lot!
What Does Almond Milk Taste Like
Almond milk of course is going to give you a nutty taste that is mild. It is going to have similar texture to regular milk. It is a great alternative to have or if you are looking for a nut milk to incorporate in diet.

What Type of Almonds Do You Use For Almond Milk
You will want to use raw almonds. You can find these at most grocery stores with no problem. Just make sure they are raw and not like salted or roasted almonds.
How Long Does Almond Milk Take to Cook In Instant Pot
You will cook your almonds for 4 minutes in the pressure cooker followed by a quick release. Now take into consideration you need to factor your pot coming to pressure.
Why Do You Remove Peels On Almonds For Almond Milk
Removing the peels doesn’t take a ton of time but it is a step you can’t skip over. Peeling your almonds will give you that silky smooth milk. Without peeling you would have skins floating all over in your milk, which would be less appealing. I easily removed mine while rinsing under cold water, after cooking.
Does It Matter What Type Of Water To Blend With
Yes it does. You don’t want to use say tap water on this. It will affect the flavor, so reach for a spring water. This will help add a pure and fresh taste to your dairy free milk.
Ways To Use Almond Milk
- Drink it
- Use as a replacement for dairy in recipes
- Pour in with oatmeal
- Make smoothies with it
- Eat cereal
- Use in coffee
- Etc
You can use almond milk almost the exact same way as you would cows milk.
How Long Can You Store Homemade Almond Milk
Store your almond milk in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Because there are not preservatives you won’t get the long shelf line dates as store bought.
You can also freeze any milk in a container or sealable bag. Just ensure you leave room for it to expand. Store in freezer for up to 3 months.
