Almond milk tofu
Almond tofu is actually a famous traditional dessert in old Beijing. It is mainly made of sweet almonds ground, boiled with water, frozen and condensed, and cut into slices. It is named because it looks like tofu. However, because it is famous, it is widely spread across the country. However, depending on the region where it is produced, the methods of making almond tofu are also different.
The traditional method of almond tofu is quite laborious and requires a stone mill to sharpen the pulp. Modern production methods are relatively much simpler. You can mix almond powder with water to make the pulp. You can also buy finished almond juice and add milk, fish glue, etc. Just make it into tofu shape. However, in order to pursue taste, modern practices also include various methods such as adding whipped cream, fruit, egg white, nectar, and fruit juice, so the taste is richer and the nutritional value is higher.
