Recipe Review - Quirky Cooking Almond Sunflower Seed Milk Pge 24

[meganjane]

I made this one today for something different as I normally make my own almond and cashew milk.

It separated immediately and was a nasty light grey colour. I didn't like the taste at all. I also found it difficult to strain as it became quite thick. I wouldn't cook this one if I made it again. I prefer almond and cashew.

Just realised that I had cooked this for 4 ½ minutes instead of the 4 minutes stated in the recipe. This could be why it separated and was thicker. Jo's recipes are usually spot on, so I'll have to try it again.

I also made this and found it great it does separate but the recipes states to shake before using and that brings it all back together. I was using bought almond milk in my smoothies and couldn't taste the difference between this and the bought almond milk in the smoothie. So for less than half the cost of buying it I am pretty happy with this recipe

I'm glad you had success with this one, Domesticgoddess.

DS seems to have a cow's milk protein allergy and as I am breastfeeding, there is no dairy for me
I have tried a number of commercial non-dairy milks and after having some terrible experiences decided to make my own.

I was really happy with this one and will certainly be making it again...I didn't make any changes to the recipe and will make it the same way in the future.

Oh Jamberie that is not good. I'm glad that you have found something that seems ok. Good luck.

After the terrible episodes of colic we have had here over the last couple of months, I can put up with being dairy free for a while!  At least there's Nuttelex for baking.

Update: I found this milk quite good in my decaf flat white, I still have to adjust my palate, but this was much better than others I've tried!
