I added small amounts of lemon juice and nutmeg on top of all the rest and it was drinkable and fine in coffee. Adding a little honey and vanilla helped. Of course the biggest problem I had with that was that the milk tasted exactly like what it was made from, raw, uncooked soybeans. I used to make soy milk by soaking the dried, rinsed soybeans in water to cover overnight, then grind and strain the beans. 1:3 or 1:4 or small variations of them for most varieties of milk-to-be foods. It’s nice to know in advance what ratio grains, beans, nuts, etc:milk. So these are great recipes! The ingredients and directions are not unfamiliar to me, I used to make soy milk the same way. The something else being nut milks and such, other kinds of non-dairy milk-like beverages. To save whatever little there is for them I’m glad to do something else. Yikes! Either that or the gods that be just refused to sell me the babies’ food, lol. I couldn’t even add baby formula milk to my Walmart cart, they don’t have any. Every store in town including Walmart is out of powdered milk and goats milk. That is very helpful any day but especially now in middle (I hope) of the covid-19 quarantine, etc. I love it that you have made these easy recipes available. ![]()
