Basic Plant Milks and Strawberry Variation - breakfast/brunch and breads recipe by Carolyn Cohen

Servings

1 litre

Ingredients

  • 1 cups nuts, hemp, oats or seeds (soaked for 4 hours or more)
  • 4 cups water
  • 5 medjool dates (pitted)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract or ½ vanilla bean (skin and seeds)
  • ⅛ tsp fine grain sea salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Strain and rinse the soaked nuts/seeds/oats/hemp well in cold water.

  2. 2

    Place the nuts/seeds/oats/hemp, etc and 4 cups of cold water in blender (I measure the water first using the measurements on the blender and then place the nuts/seeds/oats/hemp, etc in with the water).  Blend on high for 3 minutes if using a regular blender, if using the Vita-mix blender, 30 seconds is enough.  Stain through a Nut Mylk bag (squeeze the bag a little to get all the liquid through) or strain in a fine mesh strainer, pushing it through with a spoon or a spatula.

  3. 3

    Place the strainedMylkback in the blender with the dates, vanilla and salt.  Blend until smooth.

  4. 4

    Transfer to a large mason jar.
