Almond milk is a refined drink that dates back to ancient times when nuts were used to create alternative dairy products. Its velvety texture and delicate nutty flavor make it an ideal addition to morning coffee or a base for cocktails. In Russian culinary art, it holds a special place as a healthy and light drink that can be enhanced with honey and cinnamon, adding sweet and spicy notes. This drink is rich in vitamins and is perfect for those seeking a substitute for traditional milk. It is made by soaking almonds, thoroughly grinding them, and straining, which helps retain maximum nutrients. Almond milk is not just a healthy product but also a sophisticated pleasure that brings warmth and comfort with every sip.
