It happens Steve. Your viewers are smart and know it's just a slip of the tongue. I've made similar mistakes... like combining a list of ingredients only to realize the recorder is still in "pause" mode. Ya can't exactly separate sugar and cream for a "do-over". Great video as always. I honestly didn't know how easy it is to make your own almond milk. Thanks.
I saw another recipe. The same but where you cook almond milk after this procedure. Not to boil it, stirring it several minutes just below the boiling point, so it gets thicker. No artificial thickeners, all natural. You get more real milk rather than an almond tea. After leaving it in the fridge it won't get separated, the consistency is always the same. I love it that way! Cheers!
You did it again! I was cracking up at your soaking your nuts comment... so glad you giggle a well! 🤣😂🤣😂We can't lose our inner child, which is why I giggle at Holey Moley- the mini golf tournament show. Love your videos Steve... entertaining and educational!
Very Neat! We were buying an Ice Cream Shop, and the current owner and I were at the counter. An elderly lady walked directly to me and announced in a very loud voice: "Are your Nuts Wet?" The current owner spun around and headed to the back so she would not laugh in the lady's face. I calmly explained that no, we do not carry wet nuts as they are loaded with preservatives that our company, (Ben & Jerry's) does not use. She was not all that impressed, but bought a Sundae any way with Extra Fudge to make up for no wet nuts. Day in the life. Thanks Steve. This was neat.
There is no comparison between store bought and homemade! I make a blend of almond and cashew for a change too. Love the idea of making the super fine flour. That just didn't occur to me and I used the nut "crumbs" in a bases for tarts and pies. Nice one!
Be sure to soak cashews overnight to remove most of the lectins. Cashews contain high amounts of lectins which are harmful to beneficial gut bacteria. Check out Dr Gundry's channel for more info. Or simply Google it for soaking techniques.
Steve, I need to send you extra thanks and gratitude. I made this Almond Milk yesterday, and it is a game changer! I'm in week 2 of trying to eliminate dairy to get me off of a 18 month weightloss stall, and it's been going well... except for not being able to put HWC in my coffee. This almond milk actually does the trick. It is 100% better than store-bought. Between this and your ACV tonic, which I actually enjoy (rather than grimacing in disgust trying to shoot it straight), you have made my keto life easier. So, THANK YOU... can't say it enough!! You, and your recipes, hacks, and humor, have become an indispensible part of my keto journey! Cheers to you!
I’m from Trinidad and Tobago…and hey…I really really enjoyed this video…my journey started a few days ago with making walnut milk…now I’ll try this method and make Almond milk…you had me smiling broad broad…you can bet that I’ve subscribed…thank you for this lively fun video…yeah.
The taste test was really interesting. I usually avoid anything almond flavored, but I love almonds and I'm trying to like almond milk for my coffee. I love the idea of making my own. Honestly, I didn't think I could! Never even considered the possibility, which seeing the video tells me that was a silly notion. OMG...the fine almond flour...friggin' genius. Speaking of silly...you may have been trying not to giggle, but I almost fell out of my chair laughing several times. I had to explain to my husband why I was hysterical. LOL I guess I'm a 12 year old at heart.
Years ago we made our own almond milk using almond powder bought on the web. It tasted good but it developed mold quickly. We switched from a glass container to a copper water bottle and that stopped the mold.
After tasting this, store-bought just tastes "wrong". Some of the extra things I see on the Costco label are: sunflower lecithin, locust bean gum, gellan gum and zinc gluconate -- as well as a number of vitamins. I'm sure most of this stuff is to make it shelf stable and keep it from separating, but it just makes it taste unnatural to me.
Serious Keto, Not being natural, the gums are added to give products a “natural” mouth feel. I make my own sour cream, mayo, Worcestershire sauce and the such which DOES taste better and as you say, “you know what’s in it”. Thanks 😊
Same. I HATE soy milk (tastes like wet cardboard to me) and have not been a fan of almond milk (store bought) but I'm thinking maybe I can try this and see what I think... worth a shot!
Cute kid! My daughter would be just rolling her eyes during the taste test to demonstrate how "stupid" I am for being Keto. I used to make Almond Milk frequently but always discarded the squeezlings...never thought there was much taste left to use but I'll wait for your results.
Outstanding video, I'm really looking forward to trying this. The fun factor of it alone is just screaming at me. I still dont know what kind of super powers you have to not laugh when you was discussing soaking them... as soon as you said it I busted out laughing Just as a side note I've never tried the Kirkland brand though, I just use the Walmart brand unsweetened vanilla
This is brilliant. I never knew this could be done. I can go get a huge bag of almonds, make milk, and use what's left over for flour. You're saving money here all sorts of ways. Awesome.
I use store bought almond milk for baking and cooking. But, not straight up drinking. I made some for myself today. Hesitantly, I tasted it to see if you were right. By George, YOU were RIGHT! I could drink this straight up. I'm not buying another almond milk. Ever! Thank you. Almond butter here I come!!! Thank you!! I love your channel. You're such a down earth type of guy. You're the best.👍
Thank you for the kind words. I'll have a video before the end of this week seeing how the homemade almond flour performs versus store bought. Hopefully that turns out as well as the almond milk. 🙂
Thanks for the video and being frugal. Don’t waste anything, there’s an application for it. Appreciated the almond milk and the flour, twoforone video.👍
That milk looks super delicious, I think I'm going to make the milk, and use the almond flour to make the snickerdoodle recipe that Vernaz just posted. Sounds like a fantastic treat
I LOVE your videos! I want to make everything you make. I bought a dehydrator because of your videos but haven't used it yet. Thanks so much for all you do Steve.
Awesome!!! I felt like a high schooler, trying to laugh every time you said soak your nuts!!! Good job keeping it together! We have the nut milk bags already to strain our milk from our Jersey cows. Now off to rewatch your how to blanch your almonds video!
I like the fact that nothing gets wasted, since you turn the strained almond meal into flour! I bet you could also just make almond milk by adding water to some of your homemade almond butter, which would be handy for people who don't necessarily drink almond milk but really just use it as ingredient in recipes.
Since I buy almond flour in bulk, I will have to give this a go. I am currently paying 12 bucks/pound here in Chile. Whole almonds are about half the price.
And you get two for the price of one. Almond milk and almond flour. You could look at it like getting the almond flour for half price with free almond milk.
I finally bought a pound of almonds..blanched and skinned them. They are soaking over night and I'll be making the almond milk and flour tomorrow. I admit that I'll pay more for the already blanched almonds when I can. Taking skins off a pound of almonds is comparable to stubbing my little toes over and over
LOVE. THIS. VIDEO. 😀👍 We made our own just like this for along time. YOU HAVE INSPIRED ME TO START AGAIN, STEVE! Silly part? I used unblanched almonds and never even THOUGHT to make flour with the blanched! DUH! I made a chocolate or cinnamon granola out of the unblanched. Josh liked it in his yogurt. I'd rather make the flour!😜 ON. IT. Two thumbs up!👍👍 💃💞
Well, now I've got to try the Kirkland stuff, because, I compared Walmart's almond milk with Silk; and I think that Wally's tasted much more 'plain' ...in a good way. So if the Kirkland brand beats Wally's then I guess it's time to give yours a shot. (that's my logic :P) The Wally brand is about $2.50 per half gallon. I'm not one that likes spending time in the kitchen, so, that's also a factor. All the same; I love what you do on this channel!
Great video Steve . You really are quite the go to Chef for making and testing new keto recipes. I wish that I liked to get into it like you do but I live alone and it is hard enough to figure out what I want to eat anyway. Keep up your dedicated good work.
Thank you for the reminder, I use to make homemade almond milk years ago, and honestly got out of the habit. At that time I would put dates in it, but now doing keto I won’t do thatN thank you Steve!
If you are interested in making the almond milk a little thicker, take about a cup and put it in a pan and bring it to a boil (not rolling, just bubbles around the edge of pan) This will thicken it and you add it back into the rest of the milk.
Oh my God! I never thought that almond milk could taste so good! Way better than Silk brand that I had in my fridge. I added a pinch of purecane and a pinch of salt and it tasted even better. I cannot stop drinking it. Thank you! (I would have put more exclamation signs, but you said that you do not like it)
I have used that plunger pitcher for 20+ years. When it broke recently, my 20 yr old son asked how we were gonna mix drinks... yeesh... well i bought a new one online and now the world is as it should be again..
This was a great video. So you "sprout" after you blanche. I'm glad I focused in on that. I'll say it again...this was such a great video! I'm looking forward to you using the flour in some recipes. I'm curious how well it will perform. I'll bet it work well with one of the tortilla/flat bread recipes.
I have been making almond milk for a few years too. I have never tried making it with blanched almonds. I’ll give that a try next. I’ve always “soaked my nuts” in water with salt. I thought that was the big part of neutralizing phytic acids and making them more digestible. When I saw your blanched nut butter, I soaked mine in salt water and pinched the skins off. I kinda forgot about the actual blanching part. But if that’s just to get the skins off, soaking seemed to do it also. Hey hat might just save a step 😊
Great video Steve! Im by no means a baker or cooking expert but i have always noticed that store bought almond flour (kirkland in my case) is always sort of large in particle size and not as "dry" as flour and i always wondered if that was part of the reason most keto breads end up so dense. As a secondary experiment, when you compare your ultra fine almond flour, i wonder if you could also try dehydrating store bought stuff and running through a food processor too to see if it makes a difference. Thanks! p.s. my wife uses the kirkland almond milk, i might have to try to make some and have her blind taste test!
I like all your videos , i do almond milk for 7 years now with some nuts . I'm in keto and intemmtin fasting for longtime, but i do croker with pulp mixing flaxseed and cook them in dehydrator. Thankyou for sharing friends stay healthy ..
Thank you a hundred times over. Nice to find a kindred spirit! Love making stuff from scratch for the same reasons you do. The price of almond flour is so high. Can,t wait to make it
I'm definitely going to give this a go! Almond milk is pricey here in NZ. AND, if you read the carton of those store bought brands, they only have 2.5 - 4% almonds in it! The rest is water, brown rice/tapioca starch, salt, vege gum/thickener and calcium carbonate. Rip off!
I made the almond milk, regular, and then flour. Loved it. Using up my store bought and then only making homemade. My husband loved it too. By the way, you should maybe mention that the almond milk separates after a bit and needs to be shaken. The store bought...not sure cause I cannot see through the container. I’m thinking the added ingredients they put in it prevents the separation.
I just made my first almond milk last night with my new Nama J2 and had no idea how to turn the pulp into flour. So I put it in a glass storage container and in the fridge, to deal with it in the morning. I figured UA-cam might help me out and you delivered! THANK YOU! 💖 Now I'm gonna go dry and pulverize it. 😉
O.M.G l was thinking of doing that as l was desperate trying to get hold of powdered Almond flour this is great thanks l need to buy a dehydrator this great Almond butter, Almond milk and powdered Almond flour so cool thanks ever so much.
I make this all the time, pinching the skins off the almonds first. I just throw the almond flour in with my store-bought bag of almond flour. Love your experiments!
My kid (16-year-old) is trying to eat keto, but really misses milk. Going to try this out with her, Thanks! Also on the two for one topic, in the Pan-head burrito video, you said paneer could be made. So I did (almost 2 pounds from a $2.45 gallon of whole milk, cheese needed to be dried a little more), also dehydrated the whey. Whey powder might take a little more practice, but it turned out OK.
I was giggling when you said it, sorry, lol. I don't drink any kind of milk. If I need milk for a recipe, I just add water to my cream. I like the fact that you can make almond flour with the pulp though. More versatile this way.
I love the almond milk and now make it regularly. Use the unblanched (being a little lazy) and have found the flour can be used whilst still moist straight into my favourite chocolate brownie. Choc brownie with glass of ice cold almond milk delish. Thank you from UK.
I just made almond milk from almond flour and got the same white pulp. I'm dehydrating it now to use in recipes. All you need is one cup almond flour to four cups filtered water and blend for about 3 to 4 minutes. It tastes good.
I agree with many others like @JulieEyerman, etc. Awesome blog! Both are economical applications. Can't wait to buy some Almonds and "get cracking"!? Sorta a nut joke?! Blanching Almond up next... Blessings from Iowa, L
You are so entertaining Steve! 🤣😂 thanks for your very informative video. I had to cut out my almond milk consumption. 16 carbs in an 8 oz glass. Took me way over my carb intake. I only use it for baking now. It’s good to know how to make nut milk and almond flour. Oh I finally figured out that you remind me of Dick Clark (this obviously dates me!).
Ever since the pandemic started I started making my almond milk with almost The same recipe except that I add 1 cup of heavy cream and one cup of water blended with a quarter teaspoon of xanthan gum, and it's been working wonderfully with my daily latte.
Got it, massage the nut bag don't squeeze and twist...very important! How long will it last in the fridge? I am learning so much, better to have homemade thanks
So glad I bought my milk bags way before this video ( they *were* cheap 😅). Ideas pop into my head for the almond flour you made (dusting cake pans) or, in the pre- processed state, using it as part of a "crumble" topping with chopped nuts & coconut. What do you think, too dry for that, even with the requisite butter?
Been using the Almond Cow to make my own milk for some time,far superior to store bought. Thanks for the tip of soaking your nuts😳 first. How should one use the oven to dehydrate? Once again you are doing such great work. By far my favorite Keto channel
I know you tried to not giggle, so I did for you haha. I look forward to your video about comparing the almond flour. As soon as you said you were making it, I immediately wondered how it would compare. :)
I haven't bought almond milk ever since I saw this video and I won't ever buy it again. I put my almonds in the fridge over night then let them warm up to room temperature. The skin came off easy. No need go boil water.
I make my own after reading how little "almonds" are in the store brands. (there was a class action suit for that reason, false advertising). As for the almonds themselves, I buy the almonds (Costco) with their skins on, and soak them in my Instant pot. 3 mins high pressure cook time, and you can now continue to make your milk using a nut bag. The end product is definitely superior to store bought.
Great video Steve! I'm fortunate to have an Aldi's near me that sells Almond Milk for $1.29 per Half Gallon. It probably doesn't taste as good as yours, but you can't go wrong for that price. I definitely make my own Blanched almond flour though 👍
I don't know this for sure because I haven't done it, but I suspect that the almond milk will taste better if it's stored in glass, rather than the plastic pitcher. The reason I say that is because many years ago, when I was really poor, a group of us bought powdered milk in bulk. When we mixed it, it tasted a lot better when we stored it in a glass container.
Okay.... I busted out laughing about "you soaking your *almonds*..." Came here to learn how to make "macadamia" milk becuase I knew you had a video for almond milk. I did not remember this cheeky line last time.
Yes, I realize at 4:35 I refer to it as "nut butter" rather than nut milk. I can't believe I didn't catch that while editing... 😬
No biggie...by the way, I love your videos & guidance!
It happens Steve. Your viewers are smart and know it's just a slip of the tongue. I've made similar mistakes... like combining a list of ingredients only to realize the recorder is still in "pause" mode. Ya can't exactly separate sugar and cream for a "do-over". Great video as always. I honestly didn't know how easy it is to make your own almond milk. Thanks.
i read this comment first and i still didnt catch it in the video. its all good!
Laughed all through the nut references. I may be a 46 yr old grandma, but I am a 12 yr old child on the inside who appreciates jokes about nuts!
@@robtdougherty Me either!
I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who giggles at "soaking your nuts."
#soakyournuts needs to get trending :D
😉
I felt bad that I busted out at that... LOL!!
We're all really 13 year olds in grown up bodies, pretending to be serious adults. LOL!!!!!
@@sarahdee374 yesssss 😂😂😂😂
I saw another recipe. The same but where you cook almond milk after this procedure. Not to boil it, stirring it several minutes just below the boiling point, so it gets thicker.

Your daughter did a good job describing the taste differences.
You did it again! I was cracking up at your soaking your nuts comment... so glad you giggle a well! 🤣😂🤣😂We can't lose our inner child, which is why I giggle at Holey Moley- the mini golf tournament show. Love your videos Steve... entertaining and educational!
love how you used the leftover almond pulp! great way to reduce food waste :)
I give my grand daughter almond milk, store bought. I am going to try this. I am just afraid I may have to start mass producing. LOL

If I've learned anything from your videos is Courtney is one tough cookie, she is brutally honest. hehe :)

By the way, you should maybe mention that the almond milk separates after a bit and needs to be shaken. The store bought...not sure cause I cannot see through the container. I’m thinking the added ingredients they put in it prevents the separation.
I’m pretty sure I mention it in the video when I talk about the plunger pitcher.
Hi, Steve! Excellent video, informative and entertaining!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just made my first almond milk last night with my new Nama J2 and had no idea how to turn the pulp into flour. So I put it in a glass storage container and in the fridge, to deal with it in the morning. I figured UA-cam might help me out and you delivered! THANK YOU! 💖 Now I'm gonna go dry and pulverize it. 😉
Glad I could help. 🙂
Omg I died laughing. And then you mention you were trying not to laugh. 🤣🤣🤣😂😂
Thanks so much...I wanted to switch to almond milk and bought my almond flour and wa lah!, your youtube video came in super handy!! Thank you:)
I have to try this. My husband misses milk and hates almond milk. Hopefully this will help👍
O.M.G l was thinking of doing that as l was desperate trying to get hold of powdered Almond flour this is great thanks l need to buy a dehydrator this great Almond butter,
Almond milk and powdered Almond flour so cool thanks ever so much.
😅😂🤣9:49 I didn’t see that coming😂. Excellent video, excellent info, thank you!
Fantastic as always! Will be doing this as well. Its been ages since I made my own almond milk.
I definitely will try this after I drink all my almond milk I bought during the first wave of the pandemic....☹️
I make this all the time, pinching the skins off the almonds first. I just throw the almond flour in with my store-bought bag of almond flour. Love your experiments!
This is so awesome!! I'm always looking for cost savings! Thanks for sharing this process!
My kid (16-year-old) is trying to eat keto, but really misses milk. Going to try this out with her, Thanks!
Also on the two for one topic, in the Pan-head burrito video, you said paneer could be made. So I did (almost 2 pounds from a $2.45 gallon of whole milk, cheese needed to be dried a little more), also dehydrated the whey. Whey powder might take a little more practice, but it turned out OK.
Keep me updated on your whey experiments. That sounds interesting.
I was giggling when you said it, sorry, lol. I don't drink any kind of milk. If I need milk for a recipe, I just add water to my cream. I like the fact that you can make almond flour with the pulp though. More versatile this way.
I love the almond milk and now make it regularly. Use the unblanched (being a little lazy) and have found the flour can be used whilst still moist straight into my favourite chocolate brownie. Choc brownie with glass of ice cold almond milk delish.
Thank you from UK.
I just made almond milk from almond flour and got the same white pulp. I'm dehydrating it now to use in recipes. All you need is one cup almond flour to four cups filtered water and blend for about 3 to 4 minutes. It tastes good.
I'll have to give that a try and compare it. It would certainly be a heck of a lot less work.
Just an FYI, I ended up with 1/2 cup almond flour and 4 cups of almond milk.
I agree with many others like @JulieEyerman, etc. Awesome blog! Both are economical applications. Can't wait to buy some Almonds and "get cracking"!? Sorta a nut joke?!
Blanching Almond up next...
Blessings from Iowa, L
I can't wait to try this. It is easier than I thought
You are so entertaining Steve! 🤣😂 thanks for your very informative video. I had to cut out my almond milk consumption. 16 carbs in an 8 oz glass. Took me way over my carb intake. I only use it for baking now. It’s good to know how to make nut milk and almond flour. Oh I finally figured out that you remind me of Dick Clark (this obviously dates me!).
I've been told the Dick Clark thing in the past. I'll take that as a compliment. Thank you.
Serious Keto it is a compliment!
Ever since the pandemic started I started making my almond milk with almost The same recipe except that I add 1 cup of heavy cream and one cup of water blended with a quarter teaspoon of xanthan gum, and it's been working wonderfully with my daily latte.
Got it, massage the nut bag don't squeeze and twist...very important! How long will it last in the fridge? I am learning so much, better to have homemade thanks
I've never had a situation where it lasts long enough to go "sideways" on me. I'm sure a week would be fine.
Yes store bought almond milk has thickening agents that make me feel nauseous and sometime diarrhea after consuming
Good job
I have been wasting good flour all this time, oii. Thank you for this.
Very clever have to try this. Thanks Jennifer
So glad I bought my milk bags way before this video ( they *were* cheap 😅).
Ideas pop into my head for the almond flour you made (dusting cake pans) or, in the pre- processed state, using it as part of a "crumble" topping with chopped nuts & coconut. What do you think, too dry for that, even with the requisite butter?
I think dusting pans would work well. I don't know that I'd eat it as part of a crumble, though...
Super video!
Your videos get better every time.
Fantastic! My son-in-law is allergic to milk. I'm so excited to try this for him
I love this video! It's fun that you had Courtney do a blind taste test! I didn't realize that the pulp could be repurposed. Thank you. New sub :-D
Glad it was helpful!
That's a proper radio voice.
Thanks. Better than having a proper radio face. 😄
😂😂 absolutely. No your Ok those radio faces get onto the big screen nowadays anyway so you're OK regardless. 👍 😄
Been using the Almond Cow to make my own milk for some time,far superior to store bought. Thanks for the tip of soaking your nuts😳 first. How should one use the oven to dehydrate? Once again you are doing such great work. By far my favorite Keto channel
Ovens can really vary in temp and air circulation, so it's hard to make a recommendation there.
I know you tried to not giggle, so I did for you haha. I look forward to your video about comparing the almond flour. As soon as you said you were making it, I immediately wondered how it would compare. :)
My goal is to have that next week.
Another go to recipe for me! 🥛
Nice choice of shirt for this one!
Thanks!
I haven't bought almond milk ever since I saw this video and I won't ever buy it again.
I put my almonds in the fridge over night then let them warm up to room temperature. The skin came off easy. No need go boil water.
Great tip. I've started buying blanched almonds in bulk. I just find peeling to be too tedious for me.
I make my own after reading how little "almonds" are in the store brands. (there was a class action suit for that reason, false advertising). As for the almonds themselves, I buy the almonds (Costco) with their skins on, and soak them in my Instant pot. 3 mins high pressure cook time, and you can now continue to make your milk using a nut bag. The end product is definitely superior to store bought.
Great video Steve! I'm fortunate to have an Aldi's near me that sells Almond Milk for $1.29 per Half Gallon. It probably doesn't taste as good as yours, but you can't go wrong for that price. I definitely make my own Blanched almond flour though 👍
Another good one, thanks Steve
Should try Simply brand almond milk. Nothing but almonds and water and of course natural flavors of you're okay. But it tastes so good
I don't know this for sure because I haven't done it, but I suspect that the almond milk will taste better if it's stored in glass, rather than the plastic pitcher. The reason I say that is because many years ago, when I was really poor, a group of us bought powdered milk in bulk. When we mixed it, it tasted a lot better when we stored it in a glass container.
Another 10/10 vlog.
Glad you enjoyed it
Okay.... I busted out laughing about "you soaking your *almonds*..."
Came here to learn how to make "macadamia" milk becuase I knew you had a video for almond milk. I did not remember this cheeky line last time.
This is making the High School me crack up so much!
In hindsight I could have done a few more double entendres 😉
@@SeriousKeto 😉
nice tips! always good to save some money....
