4 ways to make Milk Substitutes

[Guest guest]

Today's Healthy Recipes Courtesy of Dr. Alva Irish http://www.askahomeopath.net --------------------- Almond Milk 2 cups almonds - soaked 12 hours, minimum 4 cups pure water 4 - 5 dates 1 teaspoon almond flavoring (or vanilla if you prefer) Drain soaked almonds and place in blender (Vita Mix is best). Add water, dates, and flavoring. Blend until nuts are pulverized about 2 + minutes in standard blender, 1 minute in a Vita Mix, 35 seconds in a BlendTec blender or hit the preselected computer button.

Pour into a fine mesh bag and "milk the almonds." (with a Blendtec blender you do not have to do this because the nuts will be desolved)Refrigerate well before serving. *Save the almond mash for cookies. ** This recipe may be made without the dates and flavoring to use the milk in soup recipes. If a dessert milk is wanted add honey and flavoring later. --- Rice Milk No. 1 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown) 4 cups warm water 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 cup almond or cashew pieces Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Let the milk set for about 30 minutes. Then, without shaking, pour the milk into another container, leaving most of the sediment in the first container. This makes about 4 to 4 1/2 cups. Notes: When I have used cold water and the rice was taken out of the refrigerator, it just doesn't come out that well. I don't know why, but it's best to use warm water and warm rice (you can warm it if it's leftover rice but freshly made is best). I have even let it set longer than 30 minutes (overnight) without it making a difference. --- Rice Milk No 2 4 cups hot/warm water 1 cup brown rice (you can either soak the rice for 48 hours or cook rice according to instructions) 4 chopped dates Mix all ingredients in blender until smooth. Let the milk set for about 30 minutes; then, without stirring, pour the milk into another container, leaving most of the sediment in the first container. OR, if you have a juicer, run milk through the juicer. If it needs to be even thinner, run it through a cheese cloth. The juicer usually does the trick for me. This makes about 4-4 1/2 cups. --- Sesame Milk 1/2 cup sesame seeds, soaked 4 cups pure water Blend until liquefied, strain, and serve.
