    Thanks for this video!
    I did try this, this morning, with a variation. Since I cook soup in the Vitamix it occurred to me that I could heat the portion of the almond milk that is being heated in the Vitamix as well. It came out perfectly! The texture and taste are both far superior to commercial almond milk. It nicely coats the glass and has a really good mouthfeel.
    And for those who are pointing out that the almond milk has been pasteurized by this process: not really. Pasteurization requires a much higher temperature than this process is obtaining. Has the milk been cooked to a degree? Yes. But, for me, that improves the digestibility. If it doesn't for you, then don't do it! Having the knowlege to make individual choices is a good thing. :)

    • @MrMickshan
      @MrMickshan 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's what I do too. My recipe is 3/4 c almonds to 3.5-4 c water. The heating keeps the almond from separating from the water better, though I don't really mind shaking the bottle before I use it. This fella's process probably feels very satisfying to him, but is a waste of time for most of us.

    i don't strain my almond milk at all. i have a thirty+ year old oster blender that i use. the trick is to keep your nuts in the freezer (any moisture inside them will swell and shatter the cell walls) and i put the frozen nuts in my blender and add a couple cups of very warm water which will shatter the cell walls even more as it blends adding water as it gets thick. what comes out needs to be shaken and is like cream, smooth and is great in coffee. sometimes i do hazelnuts too (they're the best and costco has them now). soak the nuts, drain them and freeze them in bags. good stuff.

Drain the almonds immediately in a colander or strainer and rinse them with cold water to cool them. With your fingers squeeze the almonds and the loosened skin will pop right off.) The only downside is that you may lose a few to the floor or they go flying across the room bc of how fast they pop out of the skins. I consider it a worthwhile loss though bc of how fast it gets done.

    Hey Peter if you want easy delicious almond milk here is what you do. Make almond butter in a good quality food processor using 1 # raw almonds , 10 Brazil nuts and one teaspoon of sea salt. Blend til smooth. At least 5 minutes or more. The fat in the Brazil nuts helps it blend easier.In a vitamin mix put 4 pitted mejool dated, 4 generous tablespoons of almond butter, 1 qt water, 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon of good quality vanilla. Blend on low for 30 seconds or so, then blend on 5 for 2 minutes. No straining needed and it is delicious. Using cold water makes the milk get colder quicker or leave it set in frig til it gets good and cold. Easy Peasy.

    Hi Peter. Thanks for the great and entertaining video. I got some great tips. I have been making almond milk for years. You can create thicker milk without having to heat it by simply using less water. Use 1 cup of almonds to 2 cups of water and see if you like it. You can always add more water if desired. Thanks again.

      Heating it in the blender whips a lot of air into it and creates more oxidation so grinding it fine is all i want for air being whipped into it.

    I made almond milk with salted mixed nuts had to pick out the almonds, boiled them so the brown skins would come off and unsalted them too. Blended 2 cups nuts they went white but after the straining and I added 1/4 sea salt 1/2 tea agave nectar. It was perfect!! But storing in the fridge it settled but it didnt matter shake it up I wasted nothing! My ground nuts went into a bread sure it was a little tan it made it tastier! Terrific on cereal! 👍 Boyfriend told me not to make it again but it if I want almond milk just buy it. I'd rather make it more fulfilling & healthier!

    Hi Peter, Carrageenan gum is just Irish Moss which is a type of seaweed. This will add the thickening without heating it up and the seaweed also has a lot of vitamins and minerals without the calories and low carbs and causes no allergies. It is not a 'bad' thing to have. The calcium and potassium are not dangerous either, they are electrolytes with help with muscular health. Nice videos :-)

    This came out perfectly! I just finished making the milk. I heated a little over half of the milk to 200 degrees, let it cool and added it to the remaining milk. Mine started getting thicker at 190 degrees but I continued on. I thought it was going to separate but it didn't. I am going to drink this batch but I will be making another batch tomorrow. I found the raw unpasteurized almonds on Amazon and ordered them. The next batch I will try to make almond yogurt with. I have had great success making thick soy yogurt so I want to try with almond milk next time. I also saved the pulp to make almond flour in my dehydrator tonight. Thank you so much, love the video!

    I tried this yesterday. I made almond milk once before and it was like water. I also soaked the almonds for 48 hours and it tasted like the almonds were fermenting.
    This time I let the almonds soak only 8 hours instead. I made it exactly the way that you did and (OH MY GOODNESS!) It was out of this world delicious! Super Creamy and it stayed creamy even after refrigerating! I added three pitted dates for sweetness instead of sugar, a couple pinches of pink Himalayan salt and 1/4 teaspoon of real vanilla at the end and made sure that the dates were totally dissolved in the milk via the blender. This is so good it is like drinking a smoothie! With just the right sweetness too. Not too sweet. My husband loved it too and he is going to start putting it in his coffee instead of store-bought almond milk! Thank you so much for teaching us this technique!!! You are the best!

    Good tip on warming up the homemade almond milk to thicken it up. The thing with homemade almond milk is that it has four or more times the amount of calories than the unsweetened store bought milk which has only 30 per cup; homemade almond milk may contain anywhere from one hundred to two hundred calories depending on how many almonds you use. Sure, homemade is healthier.

    Easier way: 1) let almonds soak longer time, like 3 days. You may want to change the water daily and keep it in the fridge. Then, 2) use two measures of water per measure of almonds. I usually do 2 cups of almonds, and 4 cups of water. This way works well to get your thicker almond thing (it is not "milk", milk is "liquid secreted by the mammary glands of female mammals, serving for the nourishment of their young.") :)

Next I take 1/2 cup of rolled oats, rinse those very well and blend with 1 cup of cold water and 1/2 cups ice cubes. Blend that for 30 seconds or enough for the ice to mix in. Yes, all that goes through a nut bag. I add 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 tbsp of maple syrup a few dashes of vainilla. The result is a delicious almond drink/milk.

    You’ll get thicker milk if u use less water.

No need for all the heating u did after. Also I use a cheese cloth to strain and it gets all the pulp from the milk from the first time. Again no need for a strainer and using nut bags a few times.

      Paulette Barrentine cheese cloth is a one time use item, then you have to throw it away, and it takes several thicknesses of it to be a good strainer. A nut milk bag works fine and is washable and reuseable many many times. You can turn the pulp in to flour by simply dehydrating the moisture out of it and then grinding up the dried pulp in a coffee grinder or blender.
