Vegetarian or plant milk can be made from different cereals (barley, oats, rice, spelt), legumes (lupine, pea, peanut, soy), nuts (almond, cashew, hazelnut, walnut), seeds (hemp, quinoa, sesame seeds, sunflower kernels) or coconut milk.

A must for those who are lactose intolerant or vegetarian or vegan.

Nut milk can be made with almonds, hazelnuts, Brazil nuts, cashews, macadamia nuts, walnuts, pecans, peanuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, pine nuts, sesame seeds and various mixtures thereof.
Mostly used raw; roasted, they usually have a more pronounced and less neutral taste.
This also applies to non - pealed across peeled nuts: these give a smoother milk.

Let 1 cup nuts overnight (8 hours) covered in 3 cups of water. Alternatively you can peel them afterwards. Skinning is easier if you have the nuts roasted or dryed (oven, stove) and then wrapped and rolled in a kitchen towel. Who hold you tight and rub and roll on the table, so that the membranes can come loose and be blown away.

Mix the nuts in the blender (or crush them with a mortar). Pass through a (nettle) cloth and press all the moisture out. This milk can be refrigerated for several days.
Put some blonde flaxseed in it to get milk with a nice white color and smoother texture. (This version is not suitable to use for warm preparations as it will curdle when cooking.)
For a different flavor, you can add syrup, honey, dates, cocoa, mint, coconut, cinnamon or vanilla.

You can also make pumpkin seed milk by blending the seeds with water and sieving.

Oat milk is also very popular and easy to make. Soak 100 grams of oats in 700 (à 900 gr) water, depending on how "thick" you want the milk. Let soak. Mix. Sieve the stuff or press it through a (cheese or nettle) cloth.

The finely ground nuts can still be used in baked goods (breads, cakes, pancakes), garnish (roasted on cakes, salads, muffins, soups, (oatmeal) porridge, muesli .. )
Or add some lemon juice, a little olive oil, chili powder, salt and pepper and you have a delicious nut hummus!
Or use it in veggie burgers or chopped nuts.
