Almond Sunflower Milk<\/div>\n

I don’t particularly like the taste of milk or cream, and have been buying soy milk for years to have in my tea and coffee.
\nIt’s expensive! And I waste a lot by taking my carton to places and forgetting it…<\/p>\n

So, \u00a0I’ve decided to try some different sorts of milks that I can make at home. The recipes come from Jo Whitton, of Quirky Cooking fame.<\/p>\n

First I made her Rice-Almond Milk. It was quick and easy in the Thermomix and I quite enjoyed the taste. Today, I made Almond and Sunflower Milk. I really like this one, it can be frothed in the Thermomix or with a stick blender. It does separate in the fridge, but comes together with a quick shake.<\/p>\n

I’ve change the recipes a little, just to suit my taste.<\/p>\n

Rice Almond Milk<\/b>
\n<\/b>
\n50g brown rice
\nPlace in a clean, dry Thermomix bowl and grind for 1 minute on speed 9<\/p>\n

Add:<\/i>
\n40g raw almonds<\/p>\n

Grind on speed 9 for another 30 seconds.<\/i><\/p>\n

Add:<\/i>
\n960g filtered water
\n2 Tbsp coconut oil
\n30g maple syrup
\n2\u00a0Tbsp\u00a0liquid lecithin (optional)<\/p>\n

Cook 6 minutes, 60 degrees, speed 4.<\/i>
\nBlend for 30 – 40 seconds, gradually moving dial to speed 8.
\n<\/i>
\nStrain through muslin placed in a strainer. Decant to bottle and refrigerate.<\/i><\/p>\n

Almond Sunflower Milk<\/b>
\n50g raw almonds
\n50g sunflower seeds<\/p>\n

Grind in the Thermomix for 15 – 20 seconds, speed 9<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Add:<\/i>
\n960g filtered water
\n2 Tbsp coconut oil (grapeseed, rice bran)
\n30g maple syrup (20g honey)
\npinch sea salt
\n2 Tbsp liquid lecithin (optional)<\/p>\n

Cook for 4 minutes, 60 degrees, speed 4.<\/i>
\nBlend for 30 – 40 seconds, gradually moving dial to speed 8.<\/i>
\nStrain through muslin placed in a strainer. Decant to bottle and refrigerate.<\/i>
\n
\n<\/i><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

In both recipes, the nuts, rice, seeds can be pre-soaked in water overnight of for up to 24 hours. Then simply blend with other ingredients on speed 9 for 2 minutes. Proceed with cooking as per recipe.<\/p>\n

And, waste not, want not, I added the leftover wet grounds from the Rice Almond Milk (200g) to a loaf of spelt bread that I was making. I added an extra 100g flour and 1\/2 tsp yeast to make up for the extra liquid.<\/p>\n
