Plant based milk are easy to make and taste great. These dairy, nut and gluten free milks can be served alone with a little vanilla and some spices or they can be used in smoothies, baking or added to your favourite cereal. Enjoy!!
Quinoa Milk
1 cup quinoa
3 cups water + extra 2 cups

Place quinoa in a bowl with 3 cups of water. Leave it to soak for at least 6 hours. Rinse quinoa well and cook, steam or boil according to instructions on packet. (I cooked mine in the thermomix basket like rice). Place cooked quinoa in a food processor with extra 2 cups of water and blend on high for 1 minute.  Pour quinoa milk through a nut milk bag or muslin cloth over a bowl.  Squeeze the excess liquid out of the muslin. Pour liquid into a clean jar and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Leftover quinoa pulp can be used for quinoa patties, salad ect. Shake well before using.
