Black Sesame seed Soy Milk

Black sesame seed?

I have been having a real pang for some "Black Sesame seed milk" lately.
Since I knew I won't be finding it in Cologne, I decided
"F* it! I'll make my own!" 😆🤘🏻

• Dried Organic Soybeans
• Black sesame seeds

This hip toasty sweet vegan milk has all the health benefits without the chemicals such as preservatives and added sugar/sweeteners from the carton soy milks. This is the new cool milk from the block and you don't need an expensive soy milk maker or tricky to find cheese cloth.
All you need is a pot, bowl and a clean new pair of panty hose! ✌🏻
(I hand washed and sun dried  a pair of new unopened panty hose I found in my drawer 😄)
