Almond Milk
Hi,
In other books, I've seen a recipe for almond milk but it notes that you have to strain the milk after blending. Brendan's Almond Rooibos recipe does not call for straining but I followed it exactly (soaking the almonds before) and there were tons of almond chunks. So I did end up having to strain it. Wondering if anyone had better success or other methods?
Thank you!
Amanda

In a smoothie, I don't mind a chunkier consistency so I just leave the almond pieces as is but when using as "milk," I prefer to strain the milk after blending. I just use a strainer but I have seen some nut milk bags like this one: http://www.excaliburdehydrator.com/Nut-Milk-Bag-186-45-regular-prod.... I then use the pulp to make dehydrated crackers.

I am cheap, so I have used cheesecloth that was lying around my house, or a clean gym sock

Thank you for the feedback! That's a great idea to use the leftover pulp for other treats.

I use a Vitamix when I make almond milk and, after 1 minute of blending, there are no almond chunks. It's loud, but effective.
