Can you boil almond milk?
No, almond milk is plant-based and is different from dairy milk. If you boil almond milk, it will curdle and separate and result in bad taste and texture. Instead, heat up almond milk gently.
Can you heat it in the microwave?
Yes. you can heat up almond milk in the microwave. Pour almond milk into a microwave-safe glass and cover it. Heat it up in a short interval of 30 seconds to 1 minute to avoid overheating and boiling it over. Stir and repeat as necessary to reach the desired temperature. Make sure not to overheat it since it will curdle.
