Homemade almond milk must be used within 3 days, compared to carton ones (with additives) can last more than a week, and you have a pretty strong incentive to make your own.
By Shannon Lim
I started making my own almond milk last year, it’s cheaper than buying a carton (usually organic ones) from the store, especially if you can buy your almonds in bulk at baking supply shops or chinese herbal shop. It only takes two ingredients and a few minutes. It not only saves me money, I don’t have need the extra flavouring and preservatives in my milk.
