Commercial rice milk is also pretty good.

Hi Serene! Thanks for the recipe - it looks good & may satisfy my

want for cheese w/o soy. I never knew the difference between brewer's

yeast, nutritional yeast & regular yeast before last week! I've

heard a lot of good things about several flavours of Follow Your Heart

(although not so much w the cheddar), but I can't get it here.

 

I like your website! A girl after my own heart!

 

On the 'Vegan Dairy Substitutes " page you said:

 

Rice or Nut Milk

 

1 cup cooked rice or raw nuts

4 cups water

 

Blend in blender until it's as smooth as it will get. Strain. Use the

milk within a day, and use the pulp in baking or soup, or throw it

out. If you like it a little sweet, you can add a tiny bit of

sweetener and/or vanilla, but the sweetness is the thing I dislike

about commercial " milks " , so I never bother.

 

It's also possible to make Banana Milk by using a banana and a cup or

two of water, but that needs to be used immediately. It's good on

cereal, though.

 

- Thanks for these - I ALWAYS have rice in the house, so I'll give

this a try. It will be cheap & easy & if I hate it, I can experiment

a bit. I also liked the banana milk idea! I always have bananas too,

so I can try that, especially since I always put bananas on cereal

anyway.

 

I seem to have a block about buying soy or rice milk. I'll drink

chocolate soy once in a while & enjoy it, but not anything else. I

did buy a vanilla or " original " flavour (I can't remember which) on

sale which was good in smoothies, but I still cut it half & half w

milk. I just don't want to try a glass with a sandwich. *sigh* I

think I'd be a lot more inclined to try my own & I'll be thrilled that

there is no packaging waste.

 

It's funny the quirks we have about food isn't it?

 

Thanks for the reply!

 

His in JOY
