Recipes Everyday Cooking Vegan Homemade Flax Seed Milk 5.0 (3) 3 Reviews 1 Photo DIY flax seed milk can not only save money but also keep you from using the store-bought kind with chemicals and additives.

Pour milk through a nut bag or a strainer lined with cheesecloth into a pitcher or glass container; press solids with back of a spoon to extract liquid.

Flax seed has a gelling effect so give it a good shake before using. Use the flaxseed pulp in another recipe but don't throw it down the drain, it has a gelling effect that will clog pipes. Use a tablespoon of dried pulp in your gluten-free baking to aid in binding and boost your fiber.
