Almond Milk

Matt

Hi,
I’m sure this has probably been covered on here some where before, so I appologize for the repost.
I really like almond milk and would like to enjoy it more often, but when ever I make it, it seems to only stay good for about a day, then maybe after 2 days it sparates and curdles. Is this the average life span for a batch of almond milk? is there a way to prolong its (fridge) shelf life?
Should I just make a batch every day?
Thanks

I make almond and other nut milk regularly and have had very good luck with it keeping up to 2 weeks. Yes, it separates, but no curdling. I just give it a shake or a stir. Be certain all the utensils and containers you use, including your nut milk bag, are clean as can be. I soak my nuts overnight, rinse well, then blend in the blender with our wonderful mountain well water. Maybe your water is funky? I don’t even try to de-skin the almonds.

Hmmmm… Thanks for the advice, perhaps I could add something (honey or who knows what) to it. I’ll keep trying. I’m sure though because I live in a shared house, there could have been something floating around the fridge that could have done it.
Thanks again

Maybe the almonds you’re getting contain bacteria?? Are you making sure to use a freshly cleaned prep-tools and container? I’ve known my stuff to last about 2 1/2 days (I make 7 cups at a time). You should also be sure that when you are done soaking them you give them a good couple of rinses before they go off to the blender.

Peace,
