What fabric for a plant milk bag ?
For a plant milk bag, the most commonly used fabric is organic cotton. You can also use other types of fabric such as muslin or gauze. These fabrics are lightweight, permeable, and offer a fine texture that allows for effective filtering of plant milk without letting larger particles through.
Organic cotton is grown without the use of pesticides and herbicides, making it environmentally friendly and certified according to strict organic farming standards. Muslin is a lightweight and soft cotton fabric, while gauze is often made from cotton or linen. Be sure to choose unbleached muslin or gauze, as some fabrics may be treated with chemicals during the bleaching process.
The ideal size for a plant milk bag is approximately 30 x 30 centimeters, but this can vary depending on your personal preferences.
How to filter plant-based milk ?
To make your plant-based milk, follow these steps:
- Soak the ingredients of your choice (such as almonds, cashews, oats...) in water for a few hours or overnight.
- Blend them with clean water in a blender or mixer until you obtain a creamy liquid.
- Open the nut milk bag by holding it at the ends and slowly pour the mixture into the nut milk bag.
- Let the plant-based milk flow through the nut milk bag, then you can squeeze it to help speed up the filtration process. You will stop squeezing when no more milk is flowing and until what remains is called okara, which is the residue left in the bag.
- The filtered plant-based milk will be collected in the container below the nut milk bag, then transferred into a bottle, preferably made of glass.
Once the plant-based milk is filtered, you can consume it as is, or add natural flavors like vanilla, cocoa, or cinnamon to enhance its taste. It is important to store it in the refrigerator and consume it quickly.
