Guest guest Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 I decided to try making the nut milk last night and it turned out great! I put 1 cup of blanched almonds and about 4 cups tepid water in my blender. I followed Marjan's hint and left the blender running for 10 minutes. Then I strained it through a wire colander lined with a floursack towel, I use these to drip yogurt too. It made the nicest smoothest nut milk I've ever tasted! I put in about 1 T Frontier Vanilla for flavor and sweetness. I also saved the pulp, I'll mix it in with pancakes or try to make hot " cereal " out of it. Thanks for the hint Marjan, and I'll be trying the nut yogurt next! Carey in WY, mom to 14 yo, HFA, Seizures, mild MR; SCD 12 weeks getting only Thropp's UltraZyme Plus clappcj@...

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 We've had a lot of dialogue about nut milk lately and your message made me anxious to try it. As an adult on SCD, I am very successful with yogurt made from cow's milk but quite curious about the flavor and texture of nut milk and nut yogurt. Would the processing work in the " pulp " processor of my electric masticating juicer? (I need more justification for giving almost a full pension check for this gadget just to have a daily green drink, but imagine it is some kind of magic potion) On Wednesday, January 14, 2004, at 08:53 AM, Carey Clapp wrote: > I decided to try making the nut milk last night and it turned out great!

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Hi All, Just a few questions: is so addicted to rice milk (I've watered it down, but he knows the slightest difference in taste-he is also an extremely picky eater), I need a legal calcium supplement to put in his juice. The nut milk I have made is to gritty for him, but I have yet to try the metal mesh coffee filter. Before I buy one, has anyone had very good smooth results with this? Any advice/wisdom welcome. Thank you, mom to 4, ASD and 22 months, SD, o.t. issues gradually transitioning from GF/CF to SCD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pour through your newly bought fine metal sieve (you can use it for all kinds of things) and see if your son will drink it. Marjan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
