With the rise in plant-based eating, plant milk has become a staple in the modern kitchen.
Oat, hazelnut, coconut, and almond – there are loads of delicious ways to make your own dairy-free milk.
We’ve rounded the easiest plant milk recipes for you to try.
Oat milk

To add a little flavour to your oat milk, you can mix in vanilla, a date or honey.
Coconut milk
Making coconut milk couldn’t be easier. Unlike other homemade nut milks, which require you to soak nuts, coconut milk can be prepared in as little as 10 minutes.

Deliciously creamy, almond milk is takes a little more prep than oat and coconut but its still an effortless milk to make.

Strain through a cloth and your milk is done!
You can substitute almonds for lots of other nuts – like hazelnuts, cashews and macadamia.
