How to make Almond Milk with raw almonds or blanched almonds. Blanched almond milk has a less prominent flavor which works great for Indian Chai | Vegan RichaAlmond Milk is a staple in our house. It gets used in curries, sauces, baking, breads, chai and more. It is creamy enough for most uses and works beautifully as a dairy milk substitute.

I use blanched almonds for a less prominent almond flavor in the milk, which works beautifully in Masala Chai, Coffee, Lattes, smoothies, curries and vegan almond milk based cheeses. Blanched almond milk can be strained through a regular strainer. Much easier to clean too. just scoop the pulp using a spoon, rinse the strainer and done. I don’t often make almond milk at home, because of the shelf life and because of easy availability of packaged milk, but when I do, this is how I make mine. Ha! The process works pretty much exactly with raw unpeeled almonds as well.

The problem I have with homemade almond milk is the strong almond-y taste which can become even more prominent in a beverage such as boiled chai tea or almond milk based smoothies and milk shakes. In the pursuit of the favorite and perfect morning chai (which is a a morning must for many Indians), I decided to try blanched almonds to make the almond milk. And believe you me, it makes a world of difference. Thankfully, I do not necessarily have to blanch the almonds and peel each by hand as Blanched Almonds are also available to buy packaged. There is an easy way below to blanch them if you need to. I also prefer not touching the nut milk bag to do all the squeezing. I have a pomeranian in the house, nuff said.

How to make Almond Milk with raw almonds or blanched almonds.

Add more or less water to preferred consistency.

Steps:

Drain completely. Then pour boiling water on the almonds and let sit for 5 minutes. This helps soften up the almonds even more for blending. Drain and wash and transfer to a blender.

Blend with 1 to 1.5 cups of water.
