Almond Milk
One of the more popular milks on the market, the homemade
version allows you to control the number of additives in the drink –
add salt, sweeteners and flavours to taste, or follow our guidelines.
Like the other alternative milks, this will separate and will need to
be shaken or re-blended to bring it back together before using.
