How to make plant based Mylk’s:

Making homemade plant based mylk’s just got ten time easier with one of my favorite Kitchen appliances, the Almond Cow. This appliance allows you to make your various plant based mylk’s in less than 30 seconds. But don’t worry, if you don’t have an almond cow you can still make your mylk’s using these recipes and tips.

Ingredients you will need:

  1. Raw almonds soaked overnight, rinsed, and drained
  2. Raw cashews soaked overnight, rinsed, and drained
  3. Maple syrup
  4. Vanilla extract
  5. Lavender
  6. Cinnamon
  7. Celtic sea salt

But the combinations are endless so feel free to get creative with different nuts, seeds, or oats when making your own mylk’s at home.

Appliances you will need:

  1. Almond cow (CODE: MELISSA15 saves you $15) or a high powered blender
  2. If not using the almond cow you will need a cheese cloth or a nut mylk bag to strain the pulp out
  3. Mylk jars to store mylk

How to make the mylk using the almond cow:

The night before I soak my nuts in filtered water overnight. And the next day, I rinse and drain my nuts. Then I add 1 cup of my nuts to my filter basket and close. To the base of the almond cow I add 5 cups of filtered water along with Celtic sea salt, vanilla, lavender, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Then I press the almond cow button and let the machine do its magic. Once the light is solid green the mylk is done, open it up, and pour into your mason jars.

How to make in your blender:

If you don’t have an almond cow, make it in a high powered blender. Follow the same steps above except you won’t have a filter basket to strain out the pulp. And so you will need to use a cheese cloth or a nut mylk bag to strain out the pulp when making in the blender.

How long will my mylk last?

Since this is fresh and made with 100% real ingredients, no gums, fillers, or preservatives used, the mylk will only last around 6-7 days.

What do I do with the pulp?

I believe in 0 food waste over here, so I save my pulp always, and get creative with using it. Like making these vegan, flourless, brownies.
