Fasting for Orthodox Christians: Milk Alternatives

Having to do without dairy is difficult for me. Fortunately, there are a number of plant milks available, but they can be quite expensive. I recently decided to order a nut milk maker, and I'm really pleased with it. 

I made coconut milk with it and it was the best-tasting I had ever tried. Then I made oat milk (which turned out too thick, but that was easily corrected). This one makes 2 cups at a time, which is just about perfect for a person living alone.

There are numerous possibilities, and this also functions as an electric kettle, which is nice for those cold days!

With dairy alternative milks running $2-$3 per quart, even if a nut milk maker seems pricy, it may be worth it.
