Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup flax seeds golden flaxseed/linseed
  • 4.5 cups filtered water
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Add the flax seed to a high-speed food processor/blender. Pour in the water and blend for a few minutes or until the seeds have broken down.
  • Let the milk rest for about 10 minutes, then remove the flaxseed gel (the slimy layer that has formed on the surface).
  • Pour the milk through a nut milk bag to collect all the pulp. This will also help to collect any smaller viscous-y particles.
  • The flax milk is ready. Store in a glass bottle in the fridge for 3-5 days.

Notes

The flaxseed gel can be used in baking to replace an egg  (e.g., in meringues)  or as a face mask.
