Just listened to this show and enjoyed it. You keep mentioning the problems you have with making soy milk. Do you have Miyoko Schinner’s book, The Homemade Vegan Pantry? I have had good results with her recipe for soymilk. I now have the Almond Cow for making plant-based milk and it does a fairly good job and is easy to use. At first, I thought it was a waste of money because I still use a nut bag to strain only the pulp. I have only made almond milk with it, but do plan to make other nut milks. I do soak the nuts and shell the almonds (just for the look of the milk) and run at least 3-4 cycles to get it ground really fine. The Almond Cow is a little easier than using a high-speed blender.
Thanks, Sharon! I do have Miyoko’s book and I will look at it. I have so many cookbooks it’s hard to know what I have!
