Instructions

Place soaked black sesame seeds and dates (or maple syrup) in the filter basket. Attach the filter basket to the top of the Almond Cow and twist in the direction of the close arrow to secure. Fill the Almond Cow base to the MIN line (5 cups) with water. Add a pinch of sea salt to the water, and attach the top. Plug in the Almond Cow and press the cow start button. It will run through 3 automatic stages. When the light stops flashing, your milk is ready!

  1. If I want to add sunflower lecithin to this recipe and/or xanthan gum, should I add it to the water or to the seed basket?

    1. We suggest adding sunflower lecithin and/or xanthan gum to the filter basket to help it incorporate into the milk.

    1. Hi Verbena, Thank you for reaching out. The Almond Cow requires liquid to be in the base when making items. We do not suggest making nut/seed butter or tahini in the Almond Cow.

    1. Hi Tara! You can use the leftover black sesame seed pulp when making crackers, hummus, or savory dishes.

  5. About the soaking: is it half a cup when soaked? So how much dry ingredient would that be?
    And do you poor the excess water also in the basket/base?
    Thanks!

    1. Hi Sanneke! It is 1 cup of dry sesame seeds before soaking. We recommend discarding the soaking water and using fresh water in the base of the machine when making the milk.

  6. I tried it twice–once with raw sesame seeds and once with roasted seeds. It tasted far better with roasted seeds and gives it the warm toasty taste. Prepare it like you would any plant based milk recipe on the AC website, no need to soak the seeds.
