Almond milk is a delicious and nutritious alternative to dairy milk, and it’s surprisingly easy to make at home with a Nama juicer. In this blog post, we’ll provide a step-by-step guide on how to make almond milk in a Nama juicer, as well as tips and tricks to ensure a perfect result every time.
Gathering Your Ingredients
Before you begin, gather the following ingredients:
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 4 cups water
- Optional: sweetener (such as honey or maple syrup)
- Optional: flavoring (such as vanilla extract or cinnamon)
Step 1: Soaking the Almonds
Soaking the almonds overnight helps to soften them and make them easier to blend. Place the almonds in a bowl and cover them with water. Allow them to soak for at least 12 hours, or up to 24 hours.
Step 2: Draining and Rinsing the Almonds
Once the almonds have soaked, drain them in a colander and rinse them thoroughly with cold water. This will remove any remaining skins or debris.
Step 3: Adding Water and Optional Ingredients
Place the drained almonds in your Nama juicer along with 4 cups of water. If desired, you can also add a sweetener or flavoring to your almond milk.
Step 4: Juicing the Almonds
Assemble your Nama juicer and turn it on. Slowly feed the almonds into the juicer, using the pusher to gently guide them down the chute. The juicer will separate the almond milk from the pulp.
Step 5: Straining the Almond Milk
Once all of the almonds have been juiced, pour the almond milk into a strainer lined with a cheesecloth or nut milk bag. This will remove any remaining pulp and give you a smooth, creamy almond milk.
Step 6: Storing the Almond Milk
Store the almond milk in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Shake the almond milk well before using.
Tips for Making Perfect Almond Milk
- Use high-quality almonds for the best flavor.
- Soak the almonds for at least 12 hours to soften them.
- Add more or less water to achieve your desired consistency.
- Sweeten or flavor your almond milk to taste.
- Use the almond pulp to make other recipes, such as almond flour or almond butter.
Troubleshooting Common Problems
- If your almond milk is too thick, add more water and blend again.
- If your almond milk is too thin, add more soaked almonds and blend again.
- If your almond milk has a bitter taste, it may be due to the skins of the almonds. Make sure to rinse the almonds thoroughly before juicing.
