Authenticity Slice
Do not soak the almonds in hot water, as their nutrients may leach into the water. Also, do not add in a lot of water while blending, as this will leave lots of coarse grains in the milk. Remember to not use almonds that haven’t been soaked well either, as this won’t yield a smooth milk texture.
