Homemade almond milk is an exceptional source of vitamin E, magnesium, and monounsaturated fats. Unlike commercial versions, this recipe preserves all the nutrients in the nut without adding preservatives or excess sodium. Using Bonsalt 0% is key to balancing the fruit’s natural sodium-free flavor, while Cremor Tártaro acts as a mineral stabilizer, helping the almond-water-and-fat emulsion last longer and not separate quickly.

Detailed Description (Procedure)
-
Activated (Soaking): Soak the almonds in plenty of water for at least 8 hours (or overnight). This softens the nuts and removes antinutrients, making them easier to digest.
-
Washing: Drain the almonds and rinse them well under running water.
-
Processing: Place the almonds in the blender with 1 liter of clean mineral water.
-
Technical Incorporation: Add the pinch of Bonsalt 0% , the Cremor Tártaro and, if desired, the Stevia 1:8 de Castelló . Cremor Tártaro de Castelló helps the almond fat emulsify better with the water, resulting in a milkier and less watery drink.
-
High-Power Blending: Blend at maximum speed for 2-3 minutes until the almonds are completely pulverized.
-
Filtering: Pass the mixture through a fine-cloth straining bag or a very fine-mesh strainer, pressing well to extract all the liquid.
-
Storage: Store in a glass bottle in the refrigerator. Shake before serving.
Chef’s Secrets
-
Full Use: Don’t throw away the leftover pulp (almond okara). Use it to make cookies, sponge cakes, or add it to your yogurts; it is pure fiber and protein.
-
Enhanced Flavor: The pinch of Bonsalt 0% is the secret to keeping the drink from tasting "flat." The potassium brings out the roasted nut flavor, making it delicious even without sweeteners.
