Chia Milk

Chia Milk

Great substitute for milk. In baking you can’t taste the difference, and it has a pleasant taste for drinking. Cheap and good for you too!

Ingredients

  • 5 cups water, divided

Step 1
Combine 3 cups water, chia seeds, and walnuts in a bowl; stir to prevent clumps from forming. Let soak for 8 hours to overnight.

Cook’s Notes:

If I am using this recipe for soup, etc., I only add a bit of honey (milk is too sweet) and leave out the vanilla.
