Sesame milk is a fantastically delicious and healthy dairy alternative. It’s great on all types of cereals, especially muesli. Once you get used to the distinct sesame flavor, it may become your favorite type of milk!

Ingredients

• ¾ cup sesame seeds, soaked overnight
• 4 ½ cups filtered water
• 1 cup ice cubes
• 1 pinch sea salt
• 3-4 tablespoons evaporated cane juice

Directions

Drain the soak water from the sesame seeds using a wire sieve and rinse them under hot running water. Place all ingredients (fresh water, ice cubes, sugar, and salt) in the Vita-mix and blend 3 minutes. If you like, you can strain the milk through a seed milk bag, but this is not necessary if the seeds are sufficiently blended. Keep refrigerated for later use. Over time the milk will separate slightly; simply stir before pouring.

Notes:
Sesame milk has a better magnesium/calcium ratio and content than cow’s milk, having two and a half times more magnesium and a magnesium/calcium ratio 4 times higher than that of milk. It has the same amount of calories as 2% milk, but with less saturated fat.
