How to use the leftover almond pulp
One of the best perks about making almond milk in your MOD Cold Press is the dryness of the pulp that is leftover. This can be repurposed into almond meal and used in baking or used in cooking to crumb fish or chicken.
When I am making almond milk regularly, I store the leftover almond milk in a large container in the freezer until the container is full. I then leave it on the bench to defrost, spread it out on baking tray lined with baking paper and pop into an oven set on its lowest temperature for the day. When I go to bed, I turn the oven off and leave the almond pulp in there overnight or until bone dry. Once dry, pop into a sealed glass jar and keep in your pantry until ready to use. You are basically getting almond meal for free.
