All you need to make Almond milk is almonds and water. Salt should be added after the milk is separated from the pulp. It enhances flavor, but mostly acts as a mild preservative. Other flavors or sweeteners should be added at the end to control consistency of flavor. Don't waste good vanilla by having it all absorbed by the pulp.
I checked their website & info in Instagram. I'm going to purchase one. I like the easy use & so many options. We go through through so much almond mild & would love to make my own.
I got an almond cow for a relative for a gift. She now is living with me and I am using her almond cow. I made almond milk for the first time yesterday and it is good. I've been buying oatmilk but when I'm out I will be making that also. The almond milk was so fast and delicious, had it on my granola this morning it's a fantastic machine. No more money spent for inferior milks that have additives I don't want and cheaper to make. Everyone should have one that uses non dairy milk regularly.
Looks like a great product however was concerned about cleaning it. The top part has electrical components how are you supposed to wash that with dish detergent?
I am struggling making creamer that is thick/creamy enough to substitute the grocery store creamers. I've tried making it, but it's just so thin. I've tried the collector cup method, warm water, running it through 2 times and none work. Do you have any suggestions about what I could add to it afterwards to thicken it up? Maybe EVOO, coconut oil, avocado oil, a clean protein powder? Any other thoughts of what to do? The main reason I bought the Almond Cow was to make a healthy creamer and so far I haven't had any good results. I even tried making coconut milk to hopefully skim off the top cream and add that to my creamer that I make, but when I make it the coconut flakes get into the milk and it's not separating. I do plan to make Unsweet Almond Milk but waiting until I'm almost out of my store bought one as I don't use the milk everyday like I do the creamer. Please, please, please I need some help. I have called in and tried what was suggested, as listed above. Btw, I use the leftover pulp to make granola. :)
Thanks for your feedback! You can try adding avocado oil to the top of the ingredients in the filter basket when making milk or you can add 1 tsp sunflower lecithin to the filter basket with the other ingredients. Hope this helps!
Can this device produce milk from all nuts? I ask because all nuts are different, especially some of the harder tree nuts. I will provide a list. Please respond promptly. Mostly we are concerned about using this system with the following nuts: Macadamia Hazel Coco Brazil And most importantly, ...Deez! Hurry. We thirst greatly!
You don’t need to add dates, it’s simply there as a sweetener. Monk fruit works just as sugar does. You don’t have to add anything, it’s delicious on its own.
jam 168 Happy to help! Not sure if she went over this or not......I usually just watch, not listen...my bad! Anywho, I make mine in a Vitamix, the more water the less “creamy”, so, additions don’t have much to do with the final product other than flavor. Best.
Hi Dina! We recommend soaking whole grain oats (oat groats) as this softens them and brings out the most oat flavor when using them to make milk. We also recommend giving them a good rinse with cold water after soaking. We don't recommend soaking any other type of oats, just a quick rinse is good. Hope this helps!
To preserve the nutrients of the ingredients, the Milk Maker does not have a heating function. The milk can be still cooked after the milk-making process. Cheers!
@@AlmondCow Thank you for the reply! Can you explain what the "creamer method" is? Or is it included in instructions for the Almond Cow? I just ordered mine!
I've done the same in a vitamix. It's annoying having to strain thru a nut bag. And u have to strain it bc otherwise it's gross. Makes me not want to do it. So I was so excited to find the almond cow...easyyyyyyy😌
Yes, like previous mentioned, the Almond Cow automatically strains the milk for you! No nut bag required and the milk is ready to drink after the milk-making process. Cheers!
@@drac124 I make it by hand and there's no small or minuscule particles if nuts in the liquid ...the secret is to strain the nuts through voile fabric not cheesecloth the cheesecloth has holes in it...try it
LorenzoNW BINGO! Not to mention all the chemicals and endocrine carcinogenic ingredients in most store bought! I’ll invest in my health at ANY AND ALL LENGTHS ... if you don’t have money to splurge on convenience items like this .. there are always alternative ways - you can either save up then buy or seek how to make the old fashioned way.
@@tubbysza Yes it seems pricey, but it is an investment that will eventually save you money in the long run (assuming the machine is of good quality and well maintained). Buying nuts, oats, etc in BULK is cheaper. Buying already made milks from the store eventually adds up and you end up spending more money in the end. PLUS, your not ingesting extra preservatives = health is wealth
Soaking is not required for flax or hemp seeds! We don't recommend soaking for flax seeds as they can get gelatinous. For hemp seeds, we recommend a few hours max. Cheers!

I make it that way in a blender all the time and then squeeze through a nut bag.
great advice, thank you!
based info bro. thanks
thanks!!
His profile picture does have a suit, yet I am still not sure if I should trust what he says.
I've had my almond cow for over a month now and love it! This video provides some very helpful hints on how to use it, thank you!

You can add the pulp to meatloaf instead of breadcrumbs. It's delicious, moist and tender.
Love this video!! It’s clear, easy and a quick watch! Selling me on it with that mango pulp yumminess!!!
Great ideas for leftover pulp woo! No waste!
I think the hard part is preventing water from getting into the electrical part , thereby rusting out the motor.
Yes, I think that might need a redesign. Make the parts that can't come in contact with water, completely detachable.
where did you find the glass jars? thank you
Mason jars from Walmart, Target, grocery store. They also sell the white plastic lid she has on her mason jar.
@@kimward-dazzlenailsdiva477 thank you
Fanum favorite video
Do the almonds have to be presoaked?
Looks like a great product however was concerned about cleaning it. The top part has electrical components how are you supposed to wash that with dish detergent?
Okay great thank you!
This helped a lot today. Thank you.

Yes it can! You have the option to choose which nut milk you'd like to make ;) Cheers!
Can i make horchata with this?
If it fits in the container you can make it.
How would you make the granola in the oven?
Check out our granola recipe here, almondcow.co/blogs/pulp-recipes/almond-pulp-granola?_pos=7&_psq=granola&_ss=e&_v=1.0
Looks Brilliant!! Thank you for the demonstration.
I want to order one of these, but I cannot consume dates. Do you know if monk fruit sweetener can be used instead?
You don’t need to add dates, it’s simply there as a sweetener. Monk fruit works just as sugar does. You don’t have to add anything, it’s delicious on its own.
Kathy W thank you! :) I saw the other replacement as maple syrup so was concerned it added something to the creaminess or so.

@@kathyw7451 I appreciate all the info! :)I hope to get this soon and try it out
Can I make pea milk with this machine?
Excellent video, thank you.
No soap when washing? Just rinse with hot water..? I am want to buy one.. and am enjoying learning about it!
The Almond Cow can be just rinsed with hot water day-to-day. Soap can be used for more stubborn build up or if a deeper clean is preferred. Cheers!
I just LOVE MINE 😍😍😍
How much wattage does the almond cow use? I would love to grab one for my camping trips!
The Almond Cow uses 240W. Cheers!
Can you froth the milk made in the Almond cow for cappuccino?
@@AlmondCow is there a video on this?
Where doyou Buy te almond cow un Colombia-south américa? Please answer me. I like so mucho.
Yum
Thanks for sharing. Im trying this tomorrow ✨️
Your almond/oak milk mentioned "rinsed oats" as opposed to soaked oats for four hours. Is that correct, you just rinse them?
Hi Dina! We recommend soaking whole grain oats (oat groats) as this softens them and brings out the most oat flavor when using them to make milk. We also recommend giving them a good rinse with cold water after soaking. We don't recommend soaking any other type of oats, just a quick rinse is good. Hope this helps!
So it’s a blender?
Without the staining. I have one and like it much better than my blender.
Other nut milk machines heat the ingredients is there a reason why amount cow doesn’t?
To preserve the nutrients of the ingredients, the Milk Maker does not have a heating function. The milk can be still cooked after the milk-making process. Cheers!
Super helpful video! Thanks! I want to make a thicker milk to make kefir and yogurt from. Is there a way to do that using the Almond Cow?
@@AlmondCow Thank you for the reply! Can you explain what the "creamer method" is? Or is it included in instructions for the Almond Cow? I just ordered mine!
Hi! How many days last this plant-based milks on the fridge?
2.5 - 3 days if stored in a sterilized glass bottle in the fridge
I’ve always made nut milk effortlessly in my Vitamix. What’s the advantage of using this machine?
It strains the pulp for you.
I've done the same in a vitamix. It's annoying having to strain thru a nut bag. And u have to strain it bc otherwise it's gross. Makes me not want to do it. So I was so excited to find the almond cow...easyyyyyyy😌

Where do you buy the Almond Cow?
What is the maximum amount of soaked nuts that I can put in the container to make almond milk?
Hi, do you ship to Europe as well? I live in Belgium- and if so, does the electricity power cable fits to our system? Thank you!
Can I make half of that recipe?
@@AlmondCow Thank you!
Thank you for sharing.
Can't wait to start making my almond milk. Just got this!!
Can I make butter for toast with it?
@@AlmondCow amazing thanks. X
Can you blend it for more cycles to make creamier milk and less usable pulp?
How long roughly does this recipe keep for?
Hi. Thank you for the video. How smooth is the milk you make? My handmade milk is quite gritty even after I filter it through a cheese cloth.
@@AlmondCow No need to strain? For me the really really small pieces of nuts in the liquid (milk) makes it hard to swallow.
@@drac124 I make it by hand and there's no small or minuscule particles if nuts in the liquid ...the secret is to strain the nuts through voile fabric not cheesecloth the cheesecloth has holes in it...try it
Is there a recipe for soy creamer?
@@AlmondCow I get a "404 Page Not Found" error when I click into the second link.
Thank you!
I want one!!!! I make cashew and oat milk with my blender but it's such a hassle!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Need video do this with oatmeal
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💪🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️
Do the nuts need to be raw??
Yes
So expensive tho! 😕
Not compared to buying almond milk at the store each week, which doesn't come anywhere close to the quality you can make yourself.
You can do payment plans! Also think of all the plastic that wont go in the trash.
This is not for poverty people.

the blue light is not coming on. I just received my almond milk.

Can I make soy milk with it
Yes, you can make soy milk, check out the recipe here, almondcow.co/blogs/milk-recipes/soy-milk?_pos=1&_psq=soy+mi&_ss=e&_v=1.0
The “collector cup” does everything lmaoo it’s the hero o💪🏼😁
yes great video there are seriouslly 30 minute videos less informative-thank u
What do you do with the pulp?
The love soy machine is the best.
Why does it cost so much?
Close to 200. May can find it on sale somewhere...I haven’t researched it that far yet.
Love the idea, but it's way too expensive!
Got it as a gift!! Free!!
I eat the leftover 😂 and also I make cheese and almond flour
It doesn’t really seem any easier or faster to use or clean than a blender and a nutmilk bag
Food. Health. Fit. Right lol just use a nut bag and blender. I felt like it took a while to make it
It says less than a minute. Pretty easy compared to a milk bag and blender!
I make it in my vitamix , why the need for a 200 dollar gadget?🤔
Definitely, but the draining part is a PITA. Also if you don't have a Vitamix, I guess it's $400 :/
I have bad wrists. I'm considering buying this even though I have a vitamix :
compost ohno
Thanks for this video. It was very detailed. 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
