{"title":"Plant Milk","description":"\u003cp\u003ePlant milk is the name for drinks made by blending a grain, nut, bean or seed with water and straining it, sold as a dairy free alternative to cow milk. Oat, soya, almond, rice and coconut are the most common. Many South Asian families now keep a carton for a vegan member of the household, for anyone avoiding lactose, or simply for a change in the morning coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach one behaves differently in cooking. Soya has the most protein and the closest body to dairy, which makes it good for setting a vegan curd or thickening a sauce. Oat is creamy and slightly sweet, and the barista versions hold up best in hot chai without splitting. Almond is light and nutty, good with cereal and in a mango smoothie. Coconut drink, thinner than tinned coconut milk, works in a quick payasam or a mild curry. Check the label for sweetened or unsweetened, and for added calcium if that matters to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo keep plant milk from curdling in tea, warm it gently and add it to the brewed tea off the heat, or use a barista style carton. Shake every carton well before pouring, as the solids settle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpened cartons keep in the fridge for around five days. Chilled cartons go out on local delivery only.
