A Better Nut Bag and Strainer
This bag is far better than another one I bought on Amazon. This bag is a heavier weight and finer strain. Plus it is larger and I didn't worry about spilling the nut milk while pouring it into the bag. It was also much easier to squeeze and strain. I was always afraid I would poke a hole in my other bag because I had to squeeze it so hard. I also noticed that I didn't see any bits of almond residue in my jar after straining.
Using a nut bag is far better than straining through cheesecloth and more Eco friendly. My first few times making almond milk and having to throw away the cheesecloth prompted me to buy my first bag .
I use four cups water to one cup soaked almonds, one or two small dates, pinch of salt and a half to one teaspoon vanilla. Sometimes I use a half cup less water for creamier nut milk for coffee. Less water makes almost a half and half consistency.
Try mixing the almond meal with honey for a face mask or scrub.
I am very pleased with my purchase and look forward to using this nut bag in other ways like juice straining and coffee making.
