DeliciousRevolution пишет: Thank you. Happy you enjoyed it.

COCO BERLIN пишет: Thank you, this was really helpful and highly informative!

MatsuLoveLust пишет: Thanks so much, :D i asked my mom if she could get me dates so i could try this

0303buster пишет: Great video. Does anyone know how long almond milk will keep? Also, thanks for the cheater version : )

Rhiannon Melton пишет: Awesome thanks! I plan on using the almond flour my everyday baking, so I wanted to make sure it was ok since the date pulp would be there too!

Sheila West пишет: Very nicely done, Joy. Thank you for your hints and tips, but also wanted to complement you on the production of your kitchen video. Quality work!

DeliciousRevolution пишет: Yes, raw honey works. Remember that honey is not advised for children under 2yrs.

Az Liz пишет: Thanks for the wonderful video. I wondered if I could use sliced almonds instead(without skin)if so, should I used the same amount? Should I throw away the water it was soaked in or could I use it to mix in the mixer?Also is almond milk as nutritious as cow's milk(it has no vit. D and less Calcium I believe)How about calorie wise(without a sweetener), if I'm on a diet?Sorry about all these questions.

DeliciousRevolution пишет: Peanuts are highly hybridized so I don't eat them- but I suppose it would work if you want peanut milk


Sharon Larson пишет: Thank you, I was researching for this because my store bought almond milk has Carrageenan, I hear carrageenan is bad for us.

DeliciousRevolution пишет: No- that would be a mess that would yield a very gritty texture to your almond milk.

DeliciousRevolution пишет: I do- but it takes a special hook up here in California where I live. All almonds sold in Cali have been flash pasteurized. That said "raw" almonds that do spout when you soak them are fine! Even when I have to pick up that kind at Trader's when I run out between farm trips- they do spout, taste awesome and are as close as I can get. Its not worth sweating the small stuff ;o)


thesoundgrove пишет: That was really well done, I rarely watch whole tutorial videos. Keep them coming!

gene loy пишет: can you use stivie and how are the calories in compair to the box stuff so how many calories per cup


yogaforeternalbliss пишет: Wonderful video, what do you think about peeling the almonds? I heart the skin is heavy to digest.

DeliciousRevolution пишет: It works MUCH better with a Vita Mix, it never gets totally creamy with a regular blender.

DeliciousRevolution пишет: Jason,
I used medjool dates, not figs. But figs would also make a yummy milk.

Andy Huseman пишет: Can I use almonds that come with half whole and half broken for this process of making milk?\r


Joel Semande пишет: Great video! Thanks

DeliciousRevolution пишет: I use the almond pulp to make a raw version of tiramisu, so the dates give me a flour that is already sweetened. Another note on the flour: I keep it in the freezer until I use.

TheBadAssKiller пишет: Society is changing... huh?? CARAGEENAN is in that almond milk and is another name for MSG!!! They may put products on the market making us THINK we are doing better... but they also add toxins under names we have no idea about!! Make your own and forget about the store brands. Also, see the almond milk video where she uses a cheese press to milk the sprout bag. Much better and less messy! I only use distilled water to make almond milk as well.

Lloyd Clarke пишет: Hi, just looking to start making this - how long does it last in the fridge if you make it yourself from Almonds or from Almond butter?

Thanks

Melissa McDonald пишет: I loved your tutorial video! Thank you!

ctg18158 пишет: Check the price of almonds as compared to store bought almond milk.


HRodMusic пишет: what a pretty lady!!

PureEleganceYo пишет: Can you do the cheater version, but with peanut butter?

Bunna Chhut пишет: good video! very informative. I will try to do it

Laurie B. L. пишет: No, they are not.

Lilly Myers пишет: thank you <3

Tim Deacon пишет: This was a brilliant tutorial :)

Devina Prabhakar пишет: hey you are REALLY good!! I love the way you talk & carry yourself:-)

DeliciousRevolution пишет: ManicPower- well you know know! So watch out boxed milk- Maniac is kissing you goodbye!

DeliciousRevolution пишет: I use the quickie version fresh, so I don't store it.

DeliciousRevolution пишет: I make the "quickie" version fresh and use it up that day. The soaked kind keeps 3-4 days in the fridge.

DeliciousRevolution пишет: Kansas,
What a savings! Thank you for doing the math and sharing it with us here. I appreciate knowing the exact dollar amount we stand to save from preparing our own milk! Makes up for some of the difference in buying organic produce! Thanks again.

emillie l. пишет: Very informative and helpful video.

DeliciousRevolution пишет: Thanks BeautyFoodTips, I love finding new uses for the almond pulp. Yours is a great suggestion.

DeliciousRevolution пишет: I don't keep mine longer than 3 days.

DeliciousRevolution пишет: YogaForEternalBliss, I would never take the time to do that, but I if you are sensitive to the skins and must, a quick blanching of the almonds will make it easy to pop them from their skins. I don;t like the trade off of losing the extra fiber & nutrients plus I like the flavor of the skins.

pickleniki пишет: How many cups of almonds do you use?


Michael W пишет: Thank you for this video. I really want to move away from cow's milk for both health/dietary reasons as well as ethical reasons, and wanted to know how to make my own almond milk so I can figure out if it'll be more cost effective than buying boxed.

I bought my first carton/boxed almond milk today at £1.65 ($2.50) for 1ltr. Cow's milk is less than £1 ($1.50) for 1ltr where I live. My family likes the taste of almond milk, but are put off by the price. I have to try and meet the £1 challenge.

Lilly Myers пишет: can I use a sifter instead of the bags to squeeze out the milk?

DeliciousRevolution пишет: I believe so - but to be honest its been so long since I have used a "regular" blender that I would love for you to share your results with me to confirm.

Gloria Abraham пишет: I noticed she didn't put vanilla in the "cheater version" that may be the reason the camera man liked it better.


DeliciousRevolution пишет: You are welcome!


DeliciousRevolution пишет: Andy,
You can use those, but they will not sprout. Still a healthy alternative to boxed milk!

DeliciousRevolution пишет: I would never take the time to blanch the almonds and pop them out. Blanching kills enzymes and I don;t have the patience. Plus I prefer the benefits of the almond skins!


DeliciousRevolution пишет: 1 cup sprouted almonds (soaked overnight)

Debbie Latour пишет: Thank you so much for showing us a cheater version for when time if of the essence :)

DeliciousRevolution пишет: Fat and water separate, that's natural. Only homogenization (which is BAD news!) blends it for keeps. Give it a shake and enjoy!

DeliciousRevolution пишет: Agreed- but the almond butter option seems fresher to me than the boxed versions with all that extra junk in there. Just a short cut for when you forget to soak, or are not interested in soaking.

TwentyThree пишет: Wow I never knew this.. I have sooooooo many almonds... and always run out of milk.. I didn't realize you could milk from almonds... I'm kicking myself!! haha.. Thank you xxx

DeliciousRevolution пишет: Thank you.

Jason Sell пишет: Hi Chef Joy. Thank you for the great video. I have a quick question. What type of figs did you use in the almond milk? I am going to try this this weekend. Thanks for you time.

stevieg4ever пишет: What is the cloth like material / thing you used to drain the almond milk?? Is that a cheese cloth?

kkoolook пишет: you can extent that if you just add filtered water!

BeatsAndBongs1 пишет: need some bison meat wit that almond milk skinny

DeliciousRevolution пишет: And- yes- you can use stevia if you are fond of the taste. I an not- so when I use stevia I use it as what I call a "booster sweetener". What that looks like is using a little stevia to amplify the sweetness of say maple or dates without using as much of those higher glycemic options. It is a dietary compromise that allows me to have some of the flavor of the sweeteners I enjoy without having the ups & downs in blood sugar that are the root causes of things like inflammation.

DeliciousRevolution пишет: I keep the conventional method up to 3 days. The cheater version I only make what I need for that day.

ChaChee Kent пишет: Do you have to use a Vita-mix type of blender?


grannyem пишет: Awesome recipe Chef Joy! I tried it both ways too and both are great, but I prefer the soaked almonds way better for the reasons you gave about soaking the almonds. Also, I've shared it with friends and they also were surprised how easy it is to make their own almond milk. I don't strain the milk as I use it in smoothies and on my cereal. My daughter Marli strains the milk and then mixed the pulp with honey and forms it into balls and puts them in the fridge for a snack. Thanks again Joy.

sylvanis13 пишет: Not sure if this was already asked. What can you do with the almond bits that are left over?

Rhiannon Melton пишет: I watched your original version of this video from a while back, and you had said that you could use the left over 'pulp' to make almond flour. Is that true, even though you would have remnants of dates in the pulp? Not saying that you're not right, just that I am new to this so I want to make sure I am doing it right! Thanks!

Robin Haglund пишет: Great info. thanks =)

Nicolas Schroeder пишет: This is great information! I am trying to design an alkaline lifestyle that is safe and not unrealistic to follow. I have gone more alkaline and noticing my health has improved exponentially! Please keep making videos, you convey information clearly :)

Nunguis71 пишет: Lovely video!

PrettyLynn8 пишет: How much almond butter did you put in? I can't wait to try both ways

putinviri пишет: can I use honey instead of dates? loved your video and butter version.

Eric Rodgers пишет: Awesome Video and Channel :) Keep up the great work

333DFG пишет: Shop brought almond milk is vile and very expensive over here. I add honey and organic vanilla to mine when I used to make it.

ChaChee Kent пишет: the question was do you have to use an industrial blender like a Vita-mix?

ThatsJustLardy пишет: Carageenan is a seaweed product.

johnny.w пишет: Thanks much, great show! Interesting tip: Salt flavor can be added with sodium ascorbate, adding vitamin C to the almilk, also increasing shelf life (by a day or two).

DeliciousRevolution пишет: Enjoy your journey! Good for you for finding deals on your raw food gear! Smart thinking. As for the almond milk, you can use your regular blender if you use the "cheater" method with raw almond butter.

DeliciousRevolution пишет: Don't use sliced almonds, they will not sprout. Always toss your soak water. It contains the enzyme inhibitors. Almond milk has MORE calcium that traditional milk and is not acidic- which can cause the leaching of calcium form bones to neutralize acids (look into the nations who consume the most cow's milk also having the highest osteoporosis rates!). Calculate calories by adding up the # of servings and dividing it by the sum of the calories in one cup of almonds and in your sweetener.

DeliciousRevolution пишет: Thank you Nicolas. Glad you are enjoying he videos and thrilled to hear you are reaping benefits from the switch to an alkaline lifestyle.

adamtombar пишет: Have you tried take off the skin of the almonds before mixing . is the milk taste better , or different?

DeliciousRevolution пишет: I prefer raw almond butter

Bunna Chhut пишет: good video! very informative. I will try to do it

DeliciousRevolution пишет: Thanks Dave.

DeliciousRevolution пишет: Kelly, great question. Yes, essentially the are very similar. However I have found no clear data on the nutritional differences between sprouted almonds and regular almonds.

DeliciousRevolution пишет: Debbie- my pleasure. The cheater method is a life-saver around our house.

TheBadAssKiller пишет: Society is changing... huh?? CARAGEENAN is in that almond milk and is another name for MSG!!!

Brandon McGinnity пишет: Almonds in the US, unless bought direct from the grower or imported, are all pasteurized. They're dead and will never sprout or be "enlivened," sadly.

iroc31407 пишет: i love the video. thanks for sharing. i have a question...i get foam on top using sprouted almonds. is there a way to stop that? also, i hate sediment and still get it using a nut milk bag, is hanging it and letting it drip without squeezing a better way to reduce or eliminate the sediment? thanks.

Maria Spenceley пишет: Absolutely love the video and the way it is presented! So inspiring as I am in the process of quitting dairy. Thank you!


Tiffany Ward пишет: I am trying to figure out if Almond milk is healthier than whole cow milk for my 18 mth old son? Do you know how the fat content and such compares? Thanks so much for your video, so very helpful!


FeatherCreature пишет: Yes, you can

Cassandra Lopez пишет: This is an amazingly easy recipe. I usually by almond milk, but my husband and I made your cheater version tonight, and absolutely loved it! It tastes so much better than the carton version, don't think we'll ever buy it again. Thanks for your commitment!

0303buster пишет: Thank you for the very informative video. Can you or anyone tell me how long almond milk will keep in the refrigerator?

iroc31407 пишет: okay thanks. i'm sorry for bombarding you with so many questions. this is the last one i promise. is it normal for the oil to separate from the milk when you let it sit? mine always does and i just want to make sure it's normal. made the cheat version today and it was hella good!

iammadea2 пишет: Hello Joy, I've just started on my journey in the "raw food " world, I have some of the equipment that will make this possible. I've just gotten a food dehydrator, a blender/processor and a juicer to start. I want to for sure purchase a vitamix, but for now I can't afford one. I'm looking on ebay, this is where I've gotten the items that I have.So until then will I be able to make this almond milk in my cuisinart blender? Can't wait to try the " Rawvioli" Wow!! Thanks


DeliciousRevolution пишет: Thank you Sheila. Travis at ProductLaunchr does my videos. He makes everyone look great at what they present.

Alyssa Gerda Duboy пишет: How long does this last if using the almond butter?

LetsDanceeeeee пишет: Haha this is great! The way she carried herself even though the camera man said the cheater way was better shows someone who knows what they're talking about! :)

DeliciousRevolution пишет: Slivered almonds won't swell up and start the sprouting process. Besides, they are WAY less cost effective!


takiyah2 пишет: Than you so much for your posting. Do you strain the almond milk when using the shortcut method? Also, how long does homemade almond milk last?

You'll Need:

4 ounces of sweet almonds
6 bitter almonds
Orange-flower water
1 quart of water

Procedures : To prepare this Almond Milk Recipe, first blanch the almonds, and grind them in a nut mill. Pound them in a mortar a little at a time, adding occasionally a drop of orange-flower water, to prevent oiling. When they are well pounded, return them to the mortar, and pour the cold water over them, mixing well. Place a cloth over the mortar, put a plate over that, and let them stand four hours. Strain and bottle for use
