5 Homemade Plant Milk Recipes
ð° Recipe 1: Homemade Almond Milk (Basic)
Ingredients: 100g raw almonds, 800ml water, 1 tsp honey, a few drops vanilla extract, a pinch of salt
Instructions: â Soak almonds overnight. â¡ Drain and place in PC-2110 with 800ml water, blend on high for 60 seconds. ⢠Strain through a nut milk bag or cheesecloth. ⣠Store in refrigerator (3-4 days).

Ingredients: 100g rolled oats, 800ml water, 1 tsp honey, a pinch of salt
Instructions: â Soak oats for 30 minutes. â¡ Drain and place in PC-2110 with 800ml water, blend on high for 30 seconds (too long will make it slimy). ⢠Strain through cheesecloth. ⣠Store in refrigerator (3-4 days).

View DetailsFrequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q1. Can I make it without a nut milk bag?
- Cashew milk is smooth and does not need straining. For almond and oat milk, you can use clean cheesecloth, paper towels, or a fine-mesh strainer as alternatives. Using a dedicated bag will strain more efficiently.
- Q2. How long can homemade plant milk be stored?
- It generally lasts 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Since it has a shorter shelf life than store-bought varieties, we recommend making small batches according to your consumption. Always shake before drinking (components will separate).
- Q3. Does soy milk always need to be heated?
- Yes, raw soybeans contain trypsin inhibitors (components that hinder digestion), so always heat it before drinking. Almond, oat, and cashew milk do not require heating.
