Making your own Oat/Almond/Soya/Quinoa Milk

So! I was wondering if anyone here has been making their own milk at all?

I'm not a fan of soya milk and have been drinking oat milk for the last two years now. Only problem is that it's pretty pricey (around €2.80 a carton). A while back I googled possible oat milk recipes and have tested out a few. It's not as tastey as the stuff you buy, but perfect to use in cooking.

1 cup processed oats, 2 cups water, pinch of salt + tbsp sunflower oil.
Soak overnight. Strain using a sieve (or cheese cloth if you are patient).

Check out the bottom video on that page. I never tried the recipe myself, despite buying the bags for it haha, but it could be worth a go. The guy in the video seems fairly enthusiastic.

Watched it. Interesting enough. I've heard about just blending up nuts before, but always thought it sounded a little like it wouldn't work. Coconut fat looks interesting too... I shall have to experiment! Never heard of "Irish Sea Moss" and I don't think I'll bother looking

Also, using a bag instead of loose cloth is a great idea.

Thanks!

They probably do, with Irish moss or a derivative is used in the boil, the issue was with Isinglass (swim bladder of sturgeon) which is used after fermentation

Sorry for going off topic
