What it is
This is a plant-based beverage made from almonds and water, flavored with vanilla. It is designed to be stored at room temperature until opened.

Before opening, it can be stored in a pantry or cupboard. Once opened, it should be refrigerated and consumed within a specific timeframe, typically about 7 to 10 days. It can be used in any application where you would normally use dairy milk. Pour it over your morning cereal, blend it into your favorite smoothie recipes, or add it to your coffee or tea for a touch of creaminess and vanilla flavor. It also works well in baked goods like cakes, muffins, and pancakes, contributing moisture and a hint of sweetness.

How to keep the rest
Store unopened cartons in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, refrigerate the almondmilk and use it within the recommended period, usually 7 to 10 days, to maintain its freshness and flavor. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use.
