SESAME SEED / NUT MILK
I needed an alternate calcium source for my daughter and found that one cup of natural sesame seed milk has a lot of calcium in it, depending on the seed you use it can be as much as 3+ times the amount found in milk. For more information on sesame seeds go to www.vegparadise.com/highestperch41.html using the Google search engine. For those that like a sweeter milk, add 1 Tablespoon honey or 2-3 dates and 1/4 teaspoon salt optional. Myself I prefer the natural taste of plain sesame seed milk. If you want to make a nut milk, follow the same process with your desired nut. Add your sweetener and salt just before blending.

Tips:
- Select the Right Nuts or Seeds: Choose nuts or seeds that you enjoy the taste of and that have the nutritional benefits you're looking for.
- Soak Your Nuts or Seeds: Soaking helps to soften the nuts or seeds and makes them easier to blend and digest. Soaking also helps to remove some of the phytic acid, which can interfere with the absorption of nutrients.
- Use a High-Powered Blender: A high-powered blender is essential for making nut or seed milk that is smooth and creamy. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can try using a food processor, but the results may not be as good.
- Add Water Gradually: Start by adding a small amount of water to the blender and then gradually increase the amount until you reach the desired consistency. This will help to prevent the nut or seed milk from becoming too thin or watery.
- Strain the Nut or Seed Milk: Straining the nut or seed milk will help to remove any remaining solids and give you a smooth and creamy milk.
- Sweeten to Taste: If you like your nut or seed milk sweet, you can add a natural sweetener such as honey, maple syrup, or stevia.
- Flavor the Nut or Seed Milk: You can flavor your nut or seed milk with a variety of ingredients such as vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, or cocoa powder.
- Store the Nut or Seed Milk Properly: Nut or seed milk can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze nut or seed milk for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
Making nut or seed milk at home is a great way to enjoy a delicious and nutritious alternative to dairy milk. Nut and seed milk is a good source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. It is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make your own nut or seed milk at home. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious milk alternative, give nut or seed milk a try!
