The Almond Master helps empower you to create fresh, nutritious, and delicious almond milk at home. The Almond Master method is quicker, thicker, and finer.

• Thicker and Finer Milk: This translates to a satisfying consistency with natural “heart healthy” oil.
• More Natural Nutrition: You have control over the ingredients and fresh naturally found vitamins.
• Great Taste: The natural sweetness of almonds has a pleasant flavor without added sugar.
• Control Over Additives: Avoiding unwanted thickeners and artificial ingredients.

Making Almond Milk with the Almond Master

You need a Vitamix® or Wolf® high-powered blender for best results because almonds have a tough outer cover. There is no substitute for 2 horsepower, 8 pounds and speed to finely grind almonds in water. A model with a narrow base such as the Vitamix TNC 5200 Classic provides the finest grind. All other nuts are easier to grind than almonds.

Before You Begin:

• Ensure you have a Vitamix or Wolf blender for optimal results
• Gather the Almond Master prototype parts (funnel, filter, plunger, etc.) Mason jar can be helpful for milk storage

Ingredients:

• 3½ cups filtered water (28 oz) in blender container
• Add about ¾ cup raw almonds. You can add up to one cup of almonds for thicker milk and it takes more cranking

Instructions:

1. Assemble the Filter
   • Place the retainer clip (#4) in the funnel (#5) base
   • Drop the pulp catcher (#2) inside the filter (#3) with the knob facing up
   • Insert the filter into the funnel, then place the funnel in the container
2. Add Ingredients
   • Pour 3½ cups of water into the blender
   • Add your chosen amount of raw almonds (¾ cup for faster processing, 1 cup for thicker and more nutritious milk)
3. Blend the Almonds
   • Turn the blender off and set it to the lowest speed
   • Turn the blender on and gradually increase speed to high (10) over a few seconds.
   • Blend the almonds at high speed for 2 minutes.
4. Strain the Almond Milk
   • Pour the mixture into the filter placed in the funnel
   • Let gravity drain the milk for a few minutes
5. Extract Remaining Milk
   • Insert the plunger mechanism (#1) into the filter, ensuring all blades are inside.
   • Gently bend a blade slightly if needed for proper insertion into the filter.
   • While holding the filter, press the plunger down lightly avoid squirting milk.
   • Increase downward pressure as you crank to clear the filter holes.
   • Continue pressing and turning until the knob touches the filter's top cap (you might hear a click).
6. Collect the Almond Milk
   • Hold the filter and lift the plunger to remove the almond pulp.
   • Place the plunger and pulp on a plate. Slide the pulp catcher off and use a utensil to remove any remaining pulp.
7. Store the Almond Milk
   • Remove the funnel and filter. Pour the almond milk into a wide-mouth mason jar (this recipe yields about a quart).
   • Secure a lid on the jar and refrigerate the almond milk within 20 minutes for optimal freshness. It lasts about 4 days.
