My recipe: 1 liter coconut milk, 3 tablespoons of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon guar gum, 1/2 teaspoon agar powder, bacterial culture. Heat mixture to 180f, then cool to 110f, then mix in culture before placing in the yogurt maker. Ferment for 24 hours.

This is a PS to a previous answer I submitted. A blender may be better for making almond milk. I have a Hamilton Beach Model 54619 and I made seeded watermelon juice and the seeds ended up being just tiny little black specks in the juice.

Yes. The frother will froth Almond milk, however, Soy works better. Moreover, I would guess Almond milk's frothing abilities differ by brand. For instance, with Soy, Organic Valley froths better than some varieties of Silk. I just tried the Silk brand Almond milk and the result was acceptable, but nowhere as good as I can get it with Soy. Coconut milk frothes the least well.

I tried almond milk for my first batch, and it didn't work at all. Maybe operator error, but I thought I followed all instructions. I've also not seen almond milk mentioned in the various makers' list of what milks are workable.Jim Heckman

I have tried heating soy milk and it turned a little grayish and separated a little. Almond milk works better.

Yes,but the consistency will be different. If you are looking to make vegan yogurt/kefir, it is best to mix 1/2 soy milk with either almond or coconut milk. Adding soy milk gives the yogurt/kefir nice consistency. If using almond milk or coconut milk alone, it will be too runny (lot's of liquid to drain off). From a quart of almond or coconut milk you'll get close to two cups of yogurt (much less then if using almond or coconut milk in combination with soy or cow milk).

Yes, it should work satisfactorily with Almond Milk, but some brands of milk froth better than others.

I have used dry mill and it was great, of course that is dairy but in process of using almond milk with honey as a sweetener. I think it will work as I substitute that for most dairy . This is amp fail yogurt maker as hv used it for severAl years. No need to heat anything with this one, its perfect everyte!

I have had no success with anything except 2% cow's milk. I have tried whole milk (no) and 2% plus a tiny bit of a non-dairy creamer (no). I think I even tried 1% milk, but don't remember. Never tried almond milk, which sounds delicious, so based on my experience I would say no. Maybe I will try it in the near future and then let you know. It would be interesting if it did froth. There's always the hand-held frother which works with everything! '

You can make yogurt with soy milk but not almond milk. I'm not sure about coconut milk

Yes. I put almonds in it to make almond milk. I just have to add them in with water. If you want to make nut butter you'd have to use the mincer attachment.

Either work very well. I'm lactose intolerant so I use unsweetened almond milk however the low cal juice is also great. I add a banana and yogurt or frozen fruit for a filling and tasty shake!

Yes, I just happened to have almond milk on hand, so I gave it a whirl. Works perfectly fine.

No, someone just asked me about soy milk as well. I haven't tried any of those. Whole milk, 2% work the best. I tried skim and it never set up after 10+ hours in the yougurt maker. The instruction manual only give recipes for regular milk with vatious milkfat contents.

Sorry to get back to you late. I haven't tried almond milk but it works great with 2% and Soy milk, so I would think it would have no problem. As long as its still a liquid and not a pulp. But it is really strong, for example if you have it going and you touch the bottom it'll buzz your finger, and keep going. It doesn't stop easily. I've whipped through a marshmallow, thick coco powder, its fast enough to create froth so I think it should work for your purposes. I hope this helped! :)
