There are many variations. But here I will give you two basic recipies with which you can play around according to your taste and needs.
Mylk #1
1C Cashew nuts
1/2C grated coconut
1tbsp lineseedoil/coconutoil
2 -3 dates (to taste)
pinch of vanilla
pinch of salt
pinch of cinnamon
1,5liter of (filtered) water
- Soak the cashew nuts for about 6 hours.
- Warm up the water to about 50 or 60 degrees celcius.
- Place all the ingredients in your blender.
- Blend for a few minutes. (If you are using a Nutribullet, do it a few times, but never more than a minute at a time)
- Using a sieve or cotton bag, filter out the liquid from the pulp.
- Use a glass bottle, that has been sterilized, pour the mylk, let it cool completely, then you can keep it in the fridge.
- You can froth up your daily amout of mylk in a pan using a whisk, or even better, get a frother.
I love Lattés.
With coffee, chai, matcha, cacao... there is just something so soothing and nourishing about a smooth, frothy, sweet, warm drink.
My favorite is Oatmilk when out having a warm drink in the city.
However, having a delicious homemade mylk is so worth it!
I try to make a liter or two every week. It saves money, but also packaging that goes to the trash.
Mylk #2
4TBSP cashew paste (or any other yummy nut/seed paste)
pinch of salt
pinch of cinnamon
1L of filtered water
- Warm up the water to about 40 or 50 degrees celcius.
- Place all the ingredients in your blender.
- Blend for a few minutes. (If you are using a Nutribullet, do it a few times, but never more than a minute at a time)
- Use a glass bottle, that has been sterilized, pour the mylk, let it cool completely, then you can keep it in the fridge.
- You can froth up your daily amout of mylk in a pan using a whisk, or even better, get a frother.
Tip 1:
Soak 1KG of cashew nuts (6-7 hours), then dehydrate them.
You will always have activated cashew nuts ready to make mylk (or throw over your salad or breakfast bowl).
Tip 2:
If you like baking, you can dehydrate the pulp, blend it into powder, and use it as a gluten free flour.
Play around with the recipe and let me know how it works out for you!
