4. Blend for 30-60 seconds on high. Add any optional flavourings you want and then strain oat milk through a nut milk bag (be gentle!) and put in a container. Keep in the fridge for 3-5 days.
Homemade almond milk recipe

4 cups water
optional: salt to taste

Directions:
1. Soak almonds overnight in a large bowl with more than enough water to cover them.

Homemade soy milk recipe
1/2 cup organic dried yellow soybeans, soaked overnight
4 cups water
salt to taste (a pinch or two - i highly recommend adding this)
2 tsp maple syrup (or to taste)
Directions:
1. Soak soybeans overnight in boiling water. After a 12 hour soak, try your best to remove the skins from the beans. Drain and rinse the beans.
2. Add beans to a blender with 4 cups of water.
3. Blend for 30-60 seconds on high. Then add to a large pot.
4. Bring to a low boil and reduce to a simmer for approx. 20 minutes. Stir often to prevent burning.
5. Remove from heat and let cool. Once cool, strain through a nut milk bag and put in a container. Add salt and sweetener and shake well. Place milk in the fridge for 3-5 days.
*Homemade milks will only last approx 3-5 days in the fridge. For this reason I suggest making small batches.
