Summarize:

Almond milk can be drunk in the same way as milk. It can usually be found in 3 flavors: plain, vanilla and chocolate. The plain variety can be sweetened or unsweetened. Manufacturers recommend shaking the container of almond milk prior to drinking it as there may be some settlement at the bottom. Almond milk, in any flavor, can also be added to coffee or tea, just like normal milk or cream. Almond milk can be used in smoothies instead of traditional dairy products. Simply combine fruit (frozen is best) and the almond milk in a blender and pulse it until it is combined. You can adjust the amount of almond milk to make your smoothie more or less thick. Add a pinch of saffron (kesar) to half a cup of luke warm regular or almond milk and let it rest till you prepare the rest of the ingredients. This lets the colour and flavour infuse with the milk. Blanche 1-2 blanched de-seeded dry dates (add as per your taste).  Pour 1 1/2 cups of chilled almond (badaam) milk in a blender. Add the ground ingredients and sugar (optional) and blend for few seconds.  Note: It is better to blend the dates alone first and then add the other ingredients, as dates may not crush up well when blended along with the milk.
Drink almond milk. Use almond milk in smoothies. Make Indian style kesar-badaam using almond milk: Grind these dates with one pod of green cardamom and 2-3 almonds and 2-3 cashew nuts. Roast 2-3 pistachio nuts and 1 almond and chop them into slivers. Add the half-cup of saffron with milk and mix. Garnish with slivers of roasted nuts and serve.
