Homemade Plant Milks (Cashew & Oat)

Homemade Plant Milks

Before we decided to go vegan, it felt daunting knowing where on earth we should start! But we knew that giving up dairy was probably the first hurdle we had to overcome.

Fast forward to today and we love the variety of plant-based milks now available in supermarkets, cafes and restaurants. This is why we were really excited when Plant Based News asked us to get involved in #WorldPlantMilkDay, which is taking place on 22 August.

It’s such a great way to get more people interested in drinking plant-based milks, and ultimately reduce the world’s consumption of dairy. So don’t forget to take up the World Plant Milk day challenge yourself, or challenge your friends and family to go dairy free for 7 days from August 22nd!

Our homemade oat and cashew milk recipes are so easy, delicious and even creamier than store-bought brands! You’ll need to buy a muslin (also known as a cheese cloth) if you don’t have one already. You can find them in most DIY stores or you can easily order them online.

Enjoy,

Roxy & Ben

How can you replace the agave syrup?

Reply
Roxy, So Vegan September 13, 2018 - 10:43 pm

Hi Dan, you could leave it out completely or substitute it for a little maple syrup or one or two pitted dates. Best, Roxy

Would it be the same process for Hazalnut milk, or how would it differ?

Reply
Roxy, So Vegan September 17, 2018 - 10:16 am

Hi Kayode, yes it would work the same. You could roast the hazelnuts first to remove their skins. Roast at 180C / 350F for 10-15 minutes then roll the hazlenuts in a tea towel to remove their skins. Let us know how it goes. Best, Roxy
