Make your own non-dairy milk in Thermomix®

Making your own non-dairy milk in Thermomix® gives you the flexibility to prepare it at home using the ingredients you choose.

To make your own dairy-free milk, you will need a nut milk bag. This is a fine, strong mesh bag used to strain nut milk. Layers of muslin can also be used.

Some milk recipes, such as oat milk, rice milk, hemp milk and coconut milk, are ready in minutes in Thermomix®. Other recipes, such as almond milk and soy milk, require soaking overnight, so they take a little longer to prepare.
