Alt Milk

Ingredients

• Choice of grain and water from below
• 1 Tbsp maple syrup (or some other sweetener, like a single pitted date)
• Pinch of salt

Oat

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 3 cups water

Blend time: 45 seconds

Rice

• 1 cup uncooked white rice
• 2 cups (or enough to cover the rice) water for soaking
• 3 cups water

Blend time: 1 minute

Soak Methods

• Hot soak: 2 hours with hot not boiling water
• Cold soak: 14 hours with room temp water

Cookware

• Blender
• Nut milk bag, towel, or fine strainer
• Mixing bowl for strained liquid
• Jar or bottle for storage

Instructions

1. If not using oats, soak your grains in your hot water according to the instructions above. Drain the soaking water off the grain before using.
2. Put all ingredients in the blender (except your soaking water if used) and blend on highest setting for amount listed above.
3. Strain the pulp from the liquid in the strainer and set it aside. Two passes is recommended, but one was fine for me.
4. Store the resulting milk in your jar or bottle and refrigerate for at most a week.

How To Use the Pulp

• as a mix of flour/grain and water for other recipes, like bread or waffles
• for rice pudding (or similar)
• with spices to make crackers[6]
• dry out and make flour[5]
