Plant Based Milks

by | Nov 7, 2015 | 0 comments

The western world has been besieged by dairy intolerances due to the quality of our milk, the health of our cows, the food and medications given to our cows and the processing done to our milk. Due to the fact that plant based milks are become popular, many companies making these milks in tetra packs may use dubious ingredients to thicken, taste and sweeten the original taste for flavour and economical reasons. I like nut milks the best, especially brazil nut milk for my chai tea’s and smoothies. But I’m very pedantic about my milks so I make my own. I then add my own taste changes by adding sea salt, dates to sweeten and vanilla beans to flavour. They are not hard, they just take a bit of time. Soak the nuts for 12 hours, discard the water and place the nuts into a strong blender with fresh vanilla powder, dates and sea salt
