Rice milk:
The most digestive of all plant-based milk. Ideal in the event of gastritis, gastroenteritis, colitis, and whenever diarrhea is present. Recommended for hypertension sufferers. It is low in fat and proteins.
Canary seed milk:
Canary grass is the seed of a plant ( Phalaris canariensis ) used as bird-feed, which is cultivated in Mexico and Middle East. There are scientific findings regarding its beneficial effect on diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol; however, many unfounded properties are attributed to it. To produce canary seed milk, seeds free of silicon fibres in its hulls should be utilised, as these fibres can cause cancer of esophagus.
Tiger Nut Horchata:
Made from tiger nuts, small tuber from the plant Cyperus esculentus, belonging to the same botanical family as papyrus. The region of Valencia ( Spain) is famous for its tiger nut production and its delicious horchata. It provides, in addition to carbohydrates, unsaturated fats, proteins, vitamins B and E, and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and iron. It contains highly digestive enzymes that facilitate digestion. Recommended in the event of diarrhea or colitis.
Making of plant-based milk:
1. Soak the grains, seeds or tubers, usually overnight, 150g to obtain 1 later of beverage.
2. Remove the water used for soaking.
3. Alternatively, add dates or raisins as sources of healthy sugars, approximately one handful per litre of water.
4. Add liter of water as to cover the grains, seeds or tubers, and crush them until a smooth paste is achieved.
5. Strain through a cloth or colander.
6. If you wish to sweeten it, use Stevia ( non-caloric sweetener ) or perhaps molasses. If desired, add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla.
Coconut milk is prepared the same way, you can prepare it from medium high-fat coconut flakes ( the flakes don’t need to be soaked), and the water needs to be warm.
