can this be used to strain almonds for almond milk or does a milk bag make more sense

I think it would be quite good to strain almonds for almond milk. Less messy than the bag, too.

Based on my limited use of this product, a milk bag would make WAY more sense. This thing would get clogged with almond gunk pretty easily and you would just be cursing and angry. Use a milk bag. ;)

Don't know. I've never made nut milk, but my guess is that it would work fine for the first pass, but for finer matter you'd need something smaller, like a cheese cloth.

Yes, I just happened to have almond milk on hand, so I gave it a whirl. Works perfectly fine.

I did not make coconut milk...I use it to make almondmilk...I soaked 1 cup of almonds overnight...and then drained and rinsed them...put them in a blender with dash of salt and 6 cups of filtered water, 1/2 tbsp. and with 4 fresh medjool dates to sweeten...blended for 2 min. ...poured slowly through bag...delicious!

It depends. You definitely save money making your own almond milk (it's about $1 to make a carton's worth). But what you get is different. You add sweetener yourself, it separates easily, and, depending on how well you soaked the almonds, it can come out grainy. You might have to try a few batches before you get a recipe that suits you. Mine has paid for itself a few times over (i've saved so much money, it's amazing!), but I could see some giving up after a few tries.

If you are doing only a cup of almond milk at a time, this might work. It is just 3-inches in diameter, and it fits nicely into a mug when steeping a cup of hot tea. The mesh is very fine, and catches all but the finest particles of tea leaves. However, if you are wanting to strain a larger quantity of almond milk, you would want a larger strainer for the job.

Yes, it should work satisfactorily with Almond Milk, but some brands of milk froth better than others.

You certainly could, but then you wouldn't have good air flow and I think it would leave a mess in your refrigerator. It would not be my recommendation. However, I have considered (but not yet tried) using one for a extra large nut milk bag...why not? The size is great for a double batch and they wash and dry well on a rack.

It will work great for almonds. Just cut the large end and the nut will slip right out.

Oh,sorry,I don't know. I just use it to fit Milk powder or Snacks. So,maybe you can try,but I don't make sure. At last,My English isn't well ,so...hehehe.

No, honestly I don't think so. It's not fine enough. If you are straining milk I would spring for an even finer mesh or go the old-fashioned cheescloth route.

Yes, I often make almond and hazelnut milk with the blender. The trick is the longer you allow the nuts the soak, the softer they will be when you blend. You may also need to blend in two batches. They longer you blend them, the finer the nuts will become.

I have not used it as a yogurt strainer but the holes are small enough for me to strain lentils if that helps.

I am sure you can use it for anything to want to strain. So far I have just used it for yogurt. I like it better than my old cheese cloth. Hope this helps to answer your question.

I have only used it for making almond and walnut nut milk. I am sorry I could not be of more help.

Yes, I always use it with milk.. Regular milk works best. I have used almond milk also but it doesn't turn out as well.

I have tried a non-dairy creamer and it did work. Sometimes it works better to warm it first. I think the Almond Milk would work.
