Milk without the cow
I keep forgetting to post this link, which I think might interest at least a couple friends. Do you go through a lot of soy milk (or almond milk, rice milk, or other)? The stuff’s pricey, but the Gluten-Free Vegan points out that with a dedicated milk (’mylk’?) machine you can make your own for around $0.12 to $0.25/week, instead of the usual $4.50 to $10/week the stuff costs around here (depending how much you go through, and how fast). You can also add your own vitamins to fortify it as needed, add oil to make it foam better if you use it to make lattes, add vanilla for flavour, etc etc etc. Seems easy enough.
I’m not sure I go through enough to make it worthwhile for me (I use soy/rice/almond milk almost exclusively in baking), but this sounds perfect for some others I know.
[Edit: Famous last words. I looked up soy milk makers on eBay out of curiosity, found this one available from Canada, and thus discovered you can also make your own tofu as a by-product of making soy milk. Soy yogurt too, apparently. *gasp* *gadget lust* That might well be worthwhile.]
