Vegan milk options

So you wonder what vegans do for milk? Or think we miss our cuppa milky chai? Doesnt happen. There are so many options in healthy vegan milk.. apart from the soya one. Milk is also easily made with nuts, seeds, coconut and even rice! Similarly, there are many easy to make options in cheese, curd and even chaas.. :) Whats more, these options are so much healthier than cows/goats or any other animals milk.. ;)

Nut milks

4/5 cashews/almonds

1 cup warm water

Soak 4-5 cashews/almonds for at least half an hour (preferably 3 hours or more)

Drain the nuts and add to blender with enough water to cover it.

Grind till very smooth

Take it out and add the warm water. Strain only if required.

This milk can be heated and can be used as normal milk for cereals, chai coffee or for cooking etc. Please note Almond milk is sweeter than cashew milk,  so avoid using it for spicy dishes

Sesame Seeds Milk

1 cup sesame seeds soaked overnight

2-3 dates/1 tsp jaggery/agave syrup or sweetner of your choice

2-3 cups warm water

Drain the sesame and add in the blender with sweetner. Add water till it covers the seeds

Grind till smooth. Take the mixture out and strain.

Heat till mildly warm or have it chilled as required.
