Nut and Seed Milks

A lot of distressing health effects of milk are recently being discovered.  Below are several alternatives to regular milk.

Cashew Milk: 5 soaked cashews
Almond Milk: 10 soaked and peeled almonds
Seeds (4 magaz - which has assorted melon seeds): 1-2 tablespoon soaked

Method: Soak from 3-4 hrs to overnight and blend in mixie with a glass of water.  Sieve the milk. This will yield a glass of milk.  If you find it too thin, you can increase the quantity of nuts.  Use the "chhaan" or the leftover from sieving to mix with roti dough, rice or sprinke in veggies or daal.  It's a healthy cream replacement.   Great for kids but watch you intake as nuts are high in fats so 1-2 servings a day as described above are enough.
