If you desire an even smoother consisantcy of mylk, strain away sediment by placing a fine mesh sieve or filtration bag over a large bowl. Pour mylk slowly into sieve and allow to filter through, or stir the milk in the sieve with a spatula to encourage it to pass through more rapidly.

What is MYLK?
Mylks are simply a non-dairy version of ‘milk’ made out of filtered water and plant based ingredients such as: nuts, seeds or grains. Plant-based mylks are a perfect way to still enjoy the versatility of cows milk without the dairy proteins involved (which are typically the cause of inflammation/allergic reactions); it’s easier on digestion, tastes great, humane, environmentally sustainable, easy to make, affordable, and did I mention tastes great? Yes, well it’s delicious!
Remember, dairy isn’t what it use to be. Another reason why I’m not a fan of dairy, is the production and mass factory farming of dairy cows and how they’re treated and what they’re treated with. Cows are often given loads of antibiotics to ward off diseases because of their unkempt living environments due to the mass factory farming. The last thing I will touch on when it comes to Mylks is the nutrient value. There’s been a scare about not receiving enough calcium if you don’t drink milk, right? Well calcium is widely presented in many plant-based foods, for example did you know 100g of broccoli head contains about 100mg of calcium? Even higher in calcium is the little ole’ sesame seed, 1 cup of sesame seeds is equal to about 1400mg of calcium and 100g almonds has about 380mg of calcium. These mylks contain no cholesterol or saturated fat. It’s also low in sodium and high in healthy fats such as omega fatty acids. Above all people, it’s D E L I S H! Enjoy.
