Thank you for this! I'm in the first week of a 4-week juicing plan (Jason Vale, the Juicemaster) and am putting my new Sana 727 to good use 4-5 x a day. One of today's recipes calls for almond milk, so I'm grateful you did a video for us. I prefer the real stuff as the packaged version hardly has any almonds in it (6-7% if I remember correctly) and the rest is water and rubbish that I don't wish to put in my body.
@@michaemoore I'm no expert, and I've never pasteurized juice, but know it's possible through heating the juice, probably to around 65C - 75C, for a few minutes. I think more often these days flash pasteurization is used, where it's hotter but only heated less than 30 seconds than quickly cooled. But as far as I know, either method will affect the nutritional value.
You asked for ideas for videos- I'd like to see a video addressing the longevity of the various juicers- I'm currently torn between buying a vertical and a horizontal. I understand the pros and cons of each [eg horizontals best for greens and verticals best for fruits etc] and the main thing putting me off verticals is that they just look more prone to breakages as they have so many more fiddley parts, such as plastic small cog for the screen and silicon juicing flaps etc.
Horizontal juicers are generally more simple, with less parts to break. On the other hand, horizontals tend to have more breakage due to "user error", specifically using a knife or other utensil as a makeshift pusher, and it gets caught and pulled into the juicer. This is because verticals don't need a pusher with many things. A quality horizontal or vertical juicer should last a long time, especially those made in Korea. Both the horiztonal and vertical Sana juicers have the same 5/10 year warranty. One potential problem with verticals is that they use a magnetic sensor as a safety measure to ensure the drum is attached properly, and sometimes this magnet is damaged if the drum is put in a dishwasher.
That technique works in a vertical juicer, because it can mix the almonds and water together in the juicing chamber. But in a horizontal juicer like the Sana 727 or Omega NC800, it is necessary to grind the almonds first and mix them with water in a bowl because the juicing chamber isn't designed to mix them together. So the result would be wet almond pulp and a little bit of milk.
Is it possible to blend the almonds instead of letting it soak with water 8-12 hours and then mix it with water? :-) Sorry if this question might sound stupid...
It's a perfectly valid question :) It's still better to let them soak, in order to soften them. It makes for a thicker and smoother milk. You could run the softened almonds through a blender.
If I process the vegetable in a food processor into smaller pieces, like pushing the veggies through a shredder, will the juicer experience less strain and squeeze out more juice out of the shredded vegetables(especially hard mature coconut meat)? P.S. From where do you get TRULY raw almonds(and other nuts/seeds)?
As long as you don't lose any juice during the shredding process, you could get a little higher yield. I'm not sure if it would work with truly shredded vegetables (like carrots, for example), but cut into smaller pieces would help because the surface area of the produce to be juiced is increased. It's why we recommend cutting produce into smaller pieces. Regarding the nuts, I suppose only truly raw nuts could be bought from the grower or a farmer's market. Where we are in Europe, most shops offer baked and "raw" nuts, but I am sure even the "raw" nuts have had some sort of treatment.

This was a great instructional video. There are so many on RUclips but you explained the steps so clearly. Also great tips, much appreciated!
Glad it was helpful!

There's really no comparison between fresh almond milk and store-bought almond milk.
Thank you for the clear step by step process
very nice video, thank you
Glad you liked it
Can you do a video on how to make tigernut milk?
that was excellent Dan, and very entertaining believe it or not ( Thank You )
Ha ha thank you :)
@@euJUICERScom Dan, would you happen to know anything about the pasteurization of juicing ??

I wonder if it's safe to grid coffee beans in Sana 727 Supreme ?
How long does it last after the process? Would a glass or plastic container play role in the quality & lifespan?
We usually drink it within 48 hours. With a vacuum pitcher, it should last 3 days without losing any flavor.
Hi I was wondering. Do I use the same method for my omega juicer cube to make the milk.
Yes. It uses the same principle of horizontal single auger juicing.
I have an omega juicer, so it says on the website I don't have to grind up the almonds first. What would happen if we just juice them whole?

@@euJUICERScom were you able to find almonds that sprout/germinate?

Thank you. I will mix in my vitamix then pour in my vertical Brevin juicer. I was not a fan of the cheese cloth method. 😍
Can I put maple syrup or honey or dates while putting almonds and warer into juicer or just add it in the end-in jar/glass ?
It's best to add honey or maple syrup at the end. With dates, you can cut them and add them along with the almonds and water.
Thank you!
I guess it is easier to make almond milk in a vertical- but which type of juicer [vertical vs horizontal] would you say makes the best almond milk?
The result is very similar, but I'd say the vertical makes a slightly smoother almond milk, probably due to the much larger screen surface.
my juicer didn't have that other screen. mine just has the regular screen
Depending on the brand, some juicers don't include a homogenizing screen, or they offer it as an optional accessory.
@@euJUICERScomhello ! I don’t have the screen too can i use the same method with the normal one used to filter ?
.@@QueenM19 If you have a blender, you could blend the almonds with water, and run the resulting mix through the juicer using the normal filter.
