I MADE THIS LAST NIGHT AND IT TASTED SOUR TODAY. ANY INPUT AS TO WHY?
Why strain it at all though?
Did you discard the water and use new water? Were the almonds rancid? Those are the only reasons we can think of that it’d be sour.
What about using organic almond butter instead of whole almonds? Then how many tbsp would you use?
There is almond pulp in the blend that you’ll want to remove for a smooth milk. :)
