Is there something you'd like to know about 'almond milk'?
For those with a Kapha constitution, what milk could be substituted for almond.
Unsweetened almond milk aggravates Kapha only slightly. Since all of the milk substitutes aggravate Kapha somewhat, I'll suggest adding spices. A dash of cinnamon is probably all that's needed.
What do you do with the "meal" that you strain out? Use that when you make a recipe that needs almonds?
You can certainly do that!
