Storage Tips
Refrigerate after opening. Use within 7-10 days. Shake before pouring.
Baking Science
Roughly 2% almonds; the rest is water plus added stabilisers (gellan, lecithin). Low protein means it does not curdle in coffee the way dairy milk does, but also will not foam as well.
Recipe Context
For laminated dough: temperature and exact fat mass impact layer definition.
For creaming methods: weight keeps butter-to-sugar balance stable.
For custards: tight dairy ratios reduce curdling risk.
Common Pitfalls
- Switching brands without re-checking weight can change texture and bake time.
- Using volume-only measurements for dense ingredients can overshoot recipe targets.
- Butter and dairy temperature affects emulsion stability and spread.
Brand Variance & Measuring Method
Baseline reference: 1 cup almond milk (unsweetened) = 245g. In real kitchens, a practical range is usually 230g-260g per cup (6% band).
Why this happens: temperature and fat phase (solid vs softened vs melted) change effective volume.
