Elmhurst Milked Almonds Barista Edition
What it is
This is a plant-based beverage made from almonds, specifically formulated for use in coffee and other hot beverages. It is designed to create a smooth, creamy texture and stable foam when steamed, making it a popular choice for baristas and home coffee enthusiasts. The product aims to replicate the performance of dairy milk in a non-dairy alternative.
How people cook with it
This almond beverage is ideal for adding to coffee drinks or using in recipes that call for milk.
- Steamed for lattes and cappuccinos
- Blended into smoothies
- Used in baking
- Added to cereal
When preparing hot beverages, it is best to steam this almond milk separately from the coffee. For best results, use a steam wand on an espresso machine to create microfoam. It can also be poured directly into hot coffee or tea. In recipes, it can be substituted cup-for-cup for dairy milk. It is not recommended to boil this beverage, as it may affect its texture and flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike some other almond milks, this barista edition is formulated with a higher fat content and specific emulsifiers to achieve a stable foam and creamy texture when heated, similar to whole dairy milk. It is less likely to separate or curdle in hot beverages.
Who it is for
This product is for individuals seeking a dairy-free alternative for their coffee drinks and cooking.
How to keep the rest
After opening, refrigerate the remaining beverage and consume within 7-10 days. Keep the carton tightly sealed to maintain freshness. It is best to store it upright in the refrigerator.
