I love home made almond milk specifically because it doesn’t have any additives, especially carrageenan, as I have RA I try to stay away from this additive as studies show it has inflammatory properties.

I make almond milk in two ways. One is to make almond butter and use two tablespoons of the butter in 3 cups of water, blended in a vitamix. This leaves some residual at the bottom of the container but not much.

The other is the way your recipe suggests. I found using a flour sack towel to be the the best way to get the most nut meat out of the mixture – if that is what you prefer.

@Eva, You can do it however you want. Try it and see how it works for you.

@Julie Anne, you can dry it in the oven to make almond flour to use in your baked goods.

@Amy, Amy, do you have to rinse the almonds? It just seems that some of the almond nutrients are getting thrown out with the soaking water.

@Julie Anne, Julie Anne, If you haven’t thrown it out, we have been wanting to try drying it and using it as flour, because that is the way coconut flour is made. I’d love to hear how it works if you try it! You probably already have some great recipes to try the almond flour in, but in case you don’t, ;*), here is the one we want to try: http://www.primal-palate.com/2010/12/chocolate-chip-cookies.html All the best!
