Making alternative milks at home
It’s almost too easy
If you have a blender and a few ingredients, you can save time and money by making your own delicious alternative milks at home. Each of these recipes has one ingredient in common: pure, delicious, filtered water. To get the most out of your homemade milks, be sure to use a purifier like Aquamega, tested and certified by WQA to reduce contaminants commonly found in tap water.
Almond or cashew milk
- Choose nuts that are raw, unroasted and unseasoned, and soak them overnight in filtered water. The longer they soak, the creamier the milk will be.
- Drain and rinse the nuts, discarding the soaking liquid.
- Place the nuts in a blender with 3 cups of hot filtered water. The water should not be boiling.
- Optionally, you can add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt or sea salt and about 1 and 1/2 teaspoons liquid sweetener such as agave nectar, stevia or honey.
- Blend on low speed for a few seconds to combine. Increase speed to high for 1 to 2 minutes, until creamy and smooth. Add water if you need to thin.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer, cheesecloth or thin kitchen towel to remove any pulp. Squeeze into the mixing bowl until all liquid is extracted.
- Your almond or cashew milk is ready! You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 or 4 days. Shake before using.
Oat milk
- Soak oats. Place 1 cup old-fashioned oats in a bowl and cover with cold water to about 2 inches above the oats. Allow to soak for around an hour. Drain and rinse the oats to remove some of the oats' starch. Discard the soaking liquid.
- Place drained oats and 3 cups filtered water in a blender. Blend on high until smooth, about 30 seconds.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer, cheesecloth or thin kitchen towel to remove any pulp. Squeeze into the mixing bowl until all liquid is extracted.
- Optionally, stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt or sea salt and about 1 to 2 tablespoons liquid sweetener such as agave nectar, stevia or honey, to taste.
- You've got oat milk! Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 or 4 days. Shake before using.
Coconut milk
- Place 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut in a blender.
- Add 4 cups hot water. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow the coconut to soften. Do not drain or discard the water.
- Blend at low speed a few seconds, then at high speed for 1 to 2 minutes until creamy.
- Strain the coconut mixture through a colander to get most of the coconut bits out. Then strain again through cheesecloth or kitchen towel to remove any remaining smaller bits.
- Your fresh coconut milk can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Shake before using.

1Coway air purifiers has been proven to trap dust, pollen, dander, viruses and bacteria in the air based on KCL (Korea Conformity Laboratories) testing.They have been tested in a 30㎥ size chamber according to the Korea Air Cleaning Association standard (SPS-KACA 002-132:2022 Modified) to measure the 0.01㎛ size of particle removal rate. It was tested on maximum airflow speed in normal room temperature and humidity conditions. The performance may vary in the actual living environment of customers.

3Aerosol test conducted in a Biosafety level 3 laboratory with two Coway air purifier models, Coway Airmega 250 and 400 for removal of SARS-CoV-2 Aerosol by US based MRI Global, a not-for-profit laboratory and partner of US Department of Defense. The test was conducted in a 13.1ft3 chamber. Virus was aerosolized for 15 minutes and the product was turned on high for 2 minutes. Result showed each product effectively removed over 99.98% of the SARS-CoV-2 in 2 minutes. This is a result from a laboratory experiment condition and result may vary in different conditions. This result does not imply it kills SARS-CoV-2 or prevents the transmission of Covid-19. Coway Airmega 250S and 400S are identical to the tested models and has equal performance with an additional mobile connectivity function.
4The concentration of ammonia, acetaldehyde and acetic acid were proven to be removed within 30 minutes by FCG Research Institute, Inc. Human Life Science Lab. It is not a demonstration result in the actual use space. Not all odors and gases may be supported. → Tested with Coway Airmega 150, 160, AP-1512HH, AP-1512HHS, 400, 400S
5The coverage area of the air purifier is based on an area where the air cleaner can make two air changes per hour (ACPH). An air change per hour translates to how many times an air purifier can clean an area, assuming the height of a ceiling to be 8 ft, in one hour. Therefore ** means two air changes per hour means that the cleaner can clean the area once every 30 minutes and * means air changes per hour means that the air purifier can clean the area once every 60 minutes.
