Hi Daniell- Does the milk taste rancid, unsweet or sour? Here are a few problem solving tips.
-Since almonds are high in fat they can turn rancid. It’s a good idea to taste almonds before making milk with them to make sure they are fresh. For the best tasting milk start with fresh raw almonds (not roasted or salted).
-If you are used to drinking sweetened almond milk, you may want to add sweetener to taste.
-Be sure to soak the almonds in the fridge. Rinse and drain the almonds before blending with fresh water.
-Strain the almond pulp from the almond milk immediately after blending.
-Homemade almond milk has no preservatives, so only lasts for a few days. (I usually keep it 2 to 3 days.)
I hope these tips help.
Thanks,
Jen

Hi i just made my almond milk friday evening and did not strain the pulp out until today, sunday evening. After doing so, I finally tasted it. And it does not taste good at all i have been drinking store bought almond milk for about a year now. but this tastes…almost like it went bad. But i’ve had it in a sealed container in the fridge, could it really have gone bad this quick?

Hi Iris- I have not tried drying the almond solids. Your idea to dry them in a low oven sounds like it could work. I’d try lining your pan with parchment paper or foil to help prevent sticking or burning. If you give it a try please let me know how it works.
Thanks,
Jen
