Make your own Quick Soaker

[SamuelWilson]

You can make your own "Quick Soaker" for soaking almonds, sesame seeds, etc.. If you have a vacuum sealer, mason jar and jar sealer, then you have everything you need.

In a vacuum, water penetrates deeper and more quickly, reducing your soak time. I performed a test on some almonds I soaked over night in a jar. I removed the lid and fitted it with the jar sealer and applied vacuum. It was interesting to note that the almonds still had trapped pockets of air, even after soaking over night. I have been using this technique and it really helps. By ensuring that each and every almond is thoroughly hydrated it reduces the amount of pulp left over after straining the water/almond mixture from your Vita-Mix to make raw mylk. Therefore, it makes your milk creamier and it is more efficient, resulting in less waste.

I just made some fresh sesame mylk. It came out so bright white and frothy. I sweetened it with raw agave.

In the second picture below, I have added the fresh sesame mylk to a pair of frosty carafes. I keep the carafes in the freezer and pour my raw mylks into them so they will chill faster. I set these pair of freshly filled carafes back in the freezer to chill. Sesame mylk is very nutritious.

That's interesting Samuel, another idea for an easy at home, though not quick!, soaker is a mesh collander and a bowl. Most of the mesh collander's come with hooks where they will sit in the bowl. Fill the bowl with water to the top, set the collander on top, and voila, instant soaker. It also flips into a sprouter when you drain the water out :)

On your Sesame seeds.. do you use hulled or unhulled for milk and sprouting? I've seen so many conflicting answers on this that I'm going to pull my hair out methinks. *lol*

I wanted to acknowledge the question, but I am just going to leave that one alone. I think the fact you are eating raw sesame seeds in general is healthy. It is a lot more healthier to drink sesame mylk with hulled or unhulled sesame seeds, than to drink dairy. I guess I can safely say that.
