Questions about Almond milk
Does almond milk need to be refrigerated before opening?
An unopened long-life carton can usually stay in a cool cupboard; refrigerate it after opening and use it within the time stated on the pack. Cartons sold chilled should stay in the fridge from the start.
How long does homemade almond milk keep?
Keep it in a clean, sealed bottle in the fridge and use it within three to four days. Shake it before pouring, as the ground almonds settle.
Can you heat almond milk without it splitting?
Warm it gently over a low heat, stirring, and avoid letting it boil. Acidic ingredients such as lemon juice can make it curdle, so add them only after taking the pan off the heat.
How do you stop almond milk separating in coffee?
Use barista-style almond milk, which is made to foam and mix more smoothly. Warm the milk first and pour the coffee into it gradually; very hot or acidic coffee can still cause separation.
Can you use almond milk instead of dairy milk in baking?
Usually, you can swap it in equal amounts for cakes, pancakes and muffins. Choose an unsweetened version for savoury recipes, and expect a less rich result in recipes that rely on whole milk.
What can you make with almond milk?
Use it in porridge, smoothies, chia pudding or rice pudding; it also works in sauces such as a mild curry. For a thicker pudding or sauce, simmer it gently or add a thickener, as it is usually less creamy than dairy milk.
What should you look for when buying almond milk?
For a neutral taste in cooking, choose an unsweetened version. If you want it to contribute calcium or vitamins, choose one that is fortified; shake the carton before pouring because added minerals can settle.
