At last homemade almond or oat milk, which does not curdle in coffee. With the addition of a "secret" ingredient, you get creamy homogenous milk, delicious, low-cost, with no artificial additives!

Notes

  • You can replace liquid lecithin with granular lecithin - in this case, you need three times the amount. For example a tablespoon of liquid lecithin = 3 tablespoons of granular lecithin, 2 tablespoons of liquid lecithin = 6 tablespoons of granular lecithin, etc.
  • Xanthan gum or guar gum are used as gluten substitutes and in various uses in the food industry. I don't know about nutritional values - but the advantage of gum over lecithin is the calorie savings (less than 10 calories per half teaspoon of xanthan gum or guar gum compared to 120 calories per 1 tablespoon of liquid lecithin). The advantage of lecithin: It raises the level of good cholesterol!
  • If you leave coffee with milk that was made with gum - after about half an hour the milk will sink. It will not curdle - just sink, a short stir will fix it :)
  • If you have only instant oat at home, you can use it as well, in this case, make sure to process it in a blender for no longer than 10 seconds so that we do not get a "slimy" drink.
  • When you add the oil before the lecithin - the lecithin will not stick to the spoon but will slide off easily and leave the spoon almost clean :)
