Hmmnn...  I can't think of anything in a regular Almond Milk which would go off rather quickly, if
it is canned properly.  Perhaps the oils would go rancid after a while, but if kept in the
refrigerator, I don't see an obvious problem, except perhaps some settling.  Am I missing
something?

By the way... I just got the opportunity to taste the fruit of the Coacoa tree this morning.  If
you have never had it (as I hadn't), it tastes very much like a soft, pulpy coconut with a hint of
chocolate flavor.  More like an aftertaste, actually.  Interesting.
