The soymilk maker is my favorite kitchen appliance. I used to drink black sesame milk (芝麻湖) and almond milk all the time as a kid. Mung bean milk was a summer treat, puported to have "cooling" properties according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

Recipe

Typically I add some sort of thickener {millet, quinoa}, plus some sweetener {dried jujube red dates}. Without these, depending on your choice of ingredients, e.g. sesame-only, the resulting milk can be thin and watery.

Below are some common ingredients, feel free to mix and match across colors!

Flavors

• Nut milks: {almond, cashew, walnut, hazelnut, peanut}

In Theory You Could But I Have Not Tried

According to the manual that comes with my soymilk maker, these are also possible:

• Coconut milk - I don't really buy coconuts but heard this is good
• Fruit smoothies - personally we're better off making these in a proper blender, since the blades of the soymilk maker are a bit small for most fruits
• Hot chocolate - personally we're better off making this in a pot, since the blades are kind of redundant for hot chocolate and end up being a pain to clean (－_－)
