FAQS, Tips + Substitutions

  • Can almond milk be heated? Yes! Heating almond milk on the stove over medium-low heat is fine, just don’t bring it to a boiling point as I mentioned above as it could minimize the nutrition… Some use a double boiler but it isn’t required.
  • Can you warm up almond milk in the microwave? You can. Pour the desired amount of almond milk into a microwave-safe container or mug and heat it at 15-second intervals and taste until you reach your desired temperature.
  • What are the benefits of drinking warm almond milk? Almond milk drink recipes are a rich source of magnesium, a mineral that’s essential for good sleep. Almond milk drinks also contain tryptophan, so the increased intake of this nutrient can have a significant impact on your sleepiness level. This recipe is also low in calories but high in calcium for your bones!
  • Substitute any other nut milk like cashew milk for another dairy-free alternative. Also, both Homemade Hemp Milk and oat milk are a substitute for dairy milk. If you aren’t worried about lactose intolerance you can totally substitute cow milk. All of these options will have similar consistency and texture.
  • Add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the mixture for a lactose-free hot chocolate.
