i have been enjoying this almond milk far too much to not share it with you. there are two ways to make it; one quicker than the other, both very tasty.
i drink the toasted coconut almond milk straight from the jar (if no little eye’s are watching), add it to smoothies, use it to make hot cocoa (i like use 2 Tablespoons of Ghiradelli Double Hot Chocolate mix, a shot of espresso and 1 cup of the steamed milk ), and also golden spiced tumeric milk.
