Urtatim asked about almond milk:
On our local Kingdom cooking list, we're having a discussion of almond
milk. This topic was brought up by a new cook.
Does one make almond milk of:
-- almonds with skin on;
-- almonds soaked overnight in cold water, skin left on;
...
or some variation thereof.
How finely does one process the almonds:
-- coarsely chopped;
-- finely chopped;
...
or some variation thereof.
How do the commercial almonds milks compare to homemade, particularly
in flavor and in texture?
I only know of two brands:
-- Pacific Naturals Organic Almond Milk
and
-- Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Almond Milk
NOTE: Both now make unsweetened almond milks, but previously only had
sweetened.

For a fair amount of commentary, including comments about some of the
variations proposed, see this file in the FOOD section of the
Florilegium:

The folks on that list might also be interested in these similar food
items as well:

sotelties.
marzipan-msg (98K) 1/ 9/08 Use of marzipan (almond paste) in
sotelties.
(In the FOOD-SWEETS section)
We've also discussed almond-milk cheese which I've collected some of
the discussion on. I haven't turned it into a file but I can or I can
send the raw messages if someone is interested.
