What can I use in place of a nut milk bag?

Strain the almonds through a nut milk bag, fine cheesecloth, or a thin cloth. My favorite nut milk bag alternative is my handkerchief. It's a super fine weave but it will still let you strain liquid through it.

Do I need a nut milk bag?

If you want to start making your own raw almond milk, or any nut milk for that matter, then you're going to need a nut milk bag. Trust me. There's nothing worse than a gritty, grainy texture to put you off the idea of nut milk for life. And nothing more delicious than a smooth, rich and creamy nut milk.

What is a substitute for cheesecloth?

How many times can you reuse cheesecloth?

If the label on your cheesecloth says one-time use only, you may be able to wash it by hand once or twice, but it will start to break down very soon. If you invest in high-quality cheesecloth, however, you can hand wash it or launder it in the washing machine with your kitchen towels and reuse it nearly indefinitely.

Is cheesecloth safe for cooking?

Cheesecloth is made of cotton, and I don't think it'd dissolve in the cooker. You'll be fine.

Can you use cheesecloth as a row cover?

How do you sanitize a cheesecloth?

Use only mild detergent if necessary, and rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue. If there are bits of curd sticking to the cloth, rinse with whey or white vinegar to help remove it.
