Milk, Almond

PRUNUS AMYGALUS DULCIS | LECHE DE ALMENDRA | LAIT D'AMANDE


DESCRIPTION: A liquid made from almonds that have been ground and blanched before being placed in hot water for 4 to 8 hours so the almonds become laden with moisture. The almonds are then pressed so that a milky liquid is forced out of the nut to become almond milk. The milk can be used for recipes requiring milk or cream, adding a distinctive taste to the food being prepared.
