Almond milk is a typical Sicilian drink made by infusing finely chopped Sicilian almonds in water. The fruits are squeezed so that they completely release the compositional juice they are rich in. Almond milk originates within the walls of Sicilian monasteries. It was a very popular drink during the period of Lent and was a real landmark in medieval Christian and Muslim cuisine. This is because cow's milk, or sheep's milk, which kept much worse, was immediately transformed into several more durable dairy products, while Sicilian almond milk, being able to be kept for a longer period, immediately gained great success and spread widely. in Italy and in the rest of Europe.
