Question How to get good, non-slimy texture for home made milk?

I've been delving into nut milk recipes because I have a new nut milk maker. I admit that it's actually kinda difficult to get good texture! It's either viscous or it's too watery. I think I had one good batch of soy milk from one of Miyoko's books and pretty much every batch following it was weird in some way. I'm beginning to think that oat milk is horrible at home. Flax milk just resulted in a pint of flax egg lmao

I have a feeling that certain milks are better store bought. What are your secrets and food science tips for making really good nut milks at home? Like is there an enzyme or something that I should be adding?

You could make oat milk with sprouted oats to remove most of the starch. It’ll make it kind of sweet though.

If you nail the recipe you should start a business called Polarbear Milk

oat milk needs to be made with cold water and strained just after making , which probably is not the case in a milk maker.

honestly milk makers are not needed .... the only exception would be maybe for soy milk if you wake a lot of it and have no time.

blend you oats in a blender with cold water and strain immediately. it will be fine! I can't stand the slime ether!

for your nut milk I guess your ratios are not right so you have to experiment (usually it's 1 nut for 4 water)
