STORY in flavor, and lower in fat, and is fortified with vitamins and minerals - so it is best as a stand-in for dairy milk in cereals, smoothies, or baked goods. ● Flax Milk: Slightly earthy, sweet. Flax milk is a great alternative to nut-milks for those with nut allergies. I have found a brand in the refrigerated section at Wegmans that is unsweetened and contains added pea protein, which I like using in my smoothies. ● Hemp or Quinoa Milk: Earthy. These tend to be stronger in flavor, and thinner in texture. I would use these in smoothies or baked goods, where they are not the prominent flavor. Just like flax milk, these are an awesome alternative for folks who are avoiding both dairy and tree nuts. (And by all means, if you enjoy their flavor, there’s certainly no reason not to drink them straight-up, too!) ● Soy Milk: Mild and light in flavor. Soy milk has long been used as a stand-in for dairy milk in coffee drinks (think lattes), cereal, and even a nice cold glass of chocolate “milk”. We don’t use a lot of soy in our kitchen because of allergies, but if you enjoy soy, then it is a great, mild option for your plantbased needs. ● Oat and Rice Milk: Mild and slightly sweet. Since these milks are produced from starches/grains rather than seeds/nuts, they are naturally much sweeter and thinner. Use these in sweet applications like baked goods. We don’t recommend using these in large quantities regularly, since they do tend to contain a lot of sugar. Want to make your own? Here’s how! ALMOND MILK Use this method to prepare Cashew or Macadamia Milk, also. Seed milks can be made using the same basic process, but typically do not require the pre-soaking. The optional ingredients listed may be added if you’ll be drinking it straight or using it in breakfast cereals and smoothies - they add amazing flavor. I would leave out these flavorings if you plan to use the milk in more savory dishes. ● Nut milk bag or cheesecloth ● 1 cup raw almonds, soaked (see directions, below) ● 3.5 cups filtered water ● 2 to 4 pitted Medjool dates, to taste (optional) ● 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional) ● 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional) ● Small pinch fine sea salt (optional) Steps ● Place the almonds in a bowl, cover with filtered water, and refrigerate for 8-10 hours. ● Drain and rinse soaking water. ● Place drained almonds into a high-powered blender along with the 3.5 cups filtered water and optional ingredients, if using. ● Blend on the highest speed for 1 minute. ● Place a nut milk bag (or cheesecloth) over a large bowl and slowly pour the mixture into the bag. (It may take a while for the milk to filter through the cloth, so take your time rather than pouring it all at once.) When most of the liquid has filtered through, squeeze the bottom of the bag to release the remaining milk. Transfer milk to a storage container, such as a glass jar, and keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Shake well before using, as contents will settle. What to do with the leftover almond pulp? You can find endless ways to use the leftover pulp online, from baking it into muffins, to drying it and grinding it into almond meal, to stirring it into your breakfast cereal. Get creative! If you want to hold onto it but don’t have the time to get creative, just seal it in a freezer bag, label it, and pop it in your freezer so that you can decide how to use it later without it going bad. 38 Philly Eats Magazine July 2017
GADGETS KITCHEN GADGETS THAT ACTUALLY WORK This month we focus on the RoboTwist – a robotic jar opener that easily twists off the toughest lids. I know what you are thinking … who needs this product when I can open most lids myself and if I cant, I give them to my spouse or better yet simply beat the side of the jar with a knife. And “yes” those options do work – but not for everyone. This is the perfect gift for seniors, children and those with arthritic hands. I purchased one for my mother who has arthritic hands and she uses it on a regular basis. How does it work .., well its quite simple. Simply set RoboTwist on the jar, press the button and watch it work. And it really is that simple. And best of all, it works on most any size jar and it It is compact in size weighing in at .80 LBS and is just over 7 inches long. And it uses very little energy, needing just 2 aa batteries. Costing just under $20 (excluding S&H) the RoboTwist makes a perfect gift for almost anyone. To learn more about their product or to place an order, simply visit their website www.buyrobotwist.com.
