Making your own plant milks

Go nuts for homemade

Have you ever tried making your own milk?  My motto is 'homemade is best' and this couldn't be more true than for plant-based milks.  Benefits include: 

• Free from preservatives, fillers, added oils 
• No processed sugars 
• Superior nutritional profile with a higher percentage of nuts/seeds than you are likely to find in shop-bought versions 
• Maximum flavour (be sure to use quality ingredients)
• Cheaper
• No packaging and therefore a more sustainable and ethical choice

Equipment 

Other than a high-power blender, I recommend getting a nut-milk bag. They are available online for just a few pounds and they will make the process much easier.  There's a variety of materials available, but I prefer the compostable, sustainable bags made from cotton and hemp.  (The same bag can be used for yogurt and cheese making, too.)
