plant-based milk

How to make your own plant-based milk.

Making your own nut milk is super easy and much cheaper than buying it in the store. If you look at the ingredients of store-bought nut milk you will find that the main ingredients after water are not nuts but sugars and emulsifiers.

Does this look wrong?

Ingredients

1. Around 1/3-1/2 a cup of nuts can easily make a litre of nut milk.
2. Since I regularly make nut milks, I bought this Tri-best nut milk maker off Amazon last year.
3. It makes the process so much quicker and easier to cleanup afterwards.
4. But fear not you don’t need this to make your milk.
5. This method can be used to make milk out of the following;
6. Almond
7. Rice
8. Oats
9. Cashew
10. Hazelnuts
11. Hemp
12. You can try other nuts as well.
13. My favourite is a mix I make with oats, almonds and cashew. It forms a thick creamy consistency and pairs well with coffee and tea and is a great base for golden or matcha lattes.

Instructions

1. 1. Soak around 1/2 cup of your nut of choice.
2. 2. Minimum time should be 4 hours, some nuts like almonds are better soaked overnight.
3. 3. Add litre of filtered water into blender and blend until a white milk liquid is formed.
4. 4. Strain through a wire mesh into a jug.
5. 5. For the rest of the pulp, put into a cheese cloth (you don’t need to have a cheese cloth, a clean old t-shirt or tea-towel will do).
6. 6. Strain remaining liquid into jug to get the most out of your nuts.

Notes

1. • I prefer making mine pure with no sweeteners just in case I want to cook with it.
2. • If you are going to be use it only for drinking or a base for smoothies you can add a pitted Medjool date for extra sweetness.
