Which do you most like the taste of?

And which do you think is healthiest?

And with or without sweetener???

I like unsweetened sesame milk best. I have a nut milk maker, which has revolutionised my milk making. You just put the nuts or seeds in the top, put water in the bottom and press the button. :cool:

Where do you get a nut milk maker??? I love nut milk-any kind, really. Almond, cashew, peanut. I sweeten it (I am a sweet fiend). Please tell me where I can get one of those!!!

Almond!!! I like it sweetened with a bit of stevia

Almond!!! I like it sweetened with a bit of stevia

almond's my second favourite :)

actually it was my favourite at first, it's the most "normal" tasting, but now I've developed a love of bitter....sesame milk and sundried olives, the bitterer the better :)

i used to hate bitter.

I live in England - I don't know whether you can buy a nut milk maker in America, sorry. Mine's called a hemp milk maker, but its used for all different types of nuts and seeds. I thought I should try using it to make hemp milk, as thats what its called, but I didn't like it at all.

My mum's favourite is sunflower seed milk.

Hmm, I've never had any nut or seed milks. Interesting.

What is the benefits of drink nut/seed milk over soy milk?
What kinds are there?
Do you have to make them all yourself, or do they sell them premade? I can't see myself being able to afford a special milk making machine (unless it was like $5 or less).

Home made nut/seed milks are raw, soya milk is cooked.
Some people think soya is bad for you but other people think its a superfood, so you have to make up your own mind.
If you think soya is dangerous then obviously you'll think nut/seed milk is preferable.
Nut/seed milk is usually more nutritious - almond and sesame for example are a good source of calcium. Hemp milk is a good source of omega 3.
It all comes down to the difference between soya and nuts and seeds - which do you think is healthiest to eat?

You can buy almond milk from the shops but it isn't raw. I don't know about other milks....

Ah I see. Thanks. Is there such a thing as Flax Milk?

My goodness, that's expensive!

Kpickell - I'm with you, sounds like a cool idea, but I'm not willing to shell out that kind of money.

But, there is another method here (http://www.babyandkidallergies.com/nutseedmilks.php) - a little more labor intensive maybe but doesn't use any specialized equipment.

Now, which nut to try first...:lick:

I started a thread on the Yaoh Milk Maker...

I got mine at a discount price, it was ex display.

I prefer almond milk with a bit of vanilla and stevia. Unless it is for a recipe that calls for spicy ingredients. I make my milk v-e-r-y c-r-e-a-m-y, using less water than is usually required.

:sunny:

Probably almond milk sweetened with a bit of stevia is my favorite.

Cairidh-- I love bitter things too. I love sesame seeds and the really bitter sundried olives. I also love bitter greens.

mmmmm :)

I've never tried bitter greens...I'm not sure which are bitter except dandelion. I keep trying to find some but no luck :(

MY fav is hazlenut but I also really like black sesame milk. Its very earthy tasting.

I've never heard of black sesame seeds. What colour's the milk?!

I never understand why nut/seed milks are all white. Was God just trying to be helpful giving us a raw vegan replacement for the white stuff?

mmmmm :)

Arugula and watercress have a kind of spicy/bitter flavor. Some people think kale is bitter, but I don't think so. I love dandelion.

I don't like watercress, it burns my mouth :(
I love kale smoothies. I've never eaten it by itself (how do you chew it???).

I wish I could find some dandelion :(

I just read on another board somebody say they love pistachio milk - that it's silky and delicious.

I must try it. And I keep meaning to find out if flax milk is possible...

Beet greens are really good too. You could marinate kale. That makes it a lot softer to chew.
