Almond Milk II
Almond milk is a plant milk used in a variety of cultures. Plant milks are often a vegan substitute for dairy, and are suitable for people with lactose intolerance or who want a dairy milk alternative. Unlike cow’s milk, almond milk contains no cholesterol, is much lower in saturated fat, and lacks casein. It is therefore suitable for those with casein allergies.

Strain this mixture over a pitcher. You can either strain it through a fine sieve by squeezing the milk from the moist mixture through the sieve with a wooden spoon, or simply place mesh sometimes called a sprout or nut-milk bag that is usually made of nylon on top of the pitcher in order to squeeze the mixture through the mesh by hand. You may either discard the pulp or use it for other recipes, such as mixing it into almond .
