    I make this regularly, though I add a teaspoon of real vanilla extract. It's very good, and very good for you. I have used the almond pulp in oatmeal cookies (but I make it into a cookie bars because it changes the consistency of the dough to be more cake-like) - 9/9/08

    This is the recipe I use every time I make almond milk often with a few changes. I use sprouted almonds when available. Like RDEPASS I add 1 teaspoon of vanilla (when my husband will be having it I don't add the vanilla because he doesn't like it) and I use a Tablespoon of raw honey. Excellent. - 3/28/10

    I use a similar recipe as well but instead of the agave I use 3-4 pitted dates, it gives the milk a caramel flavor. (blend dates right in with the almonds) - 8/24/16
