Additional Tips: Remember, the pre-cooking of peas is a unique step for pea milk, which helps in softening them and enhancing their digestibility. This process also allows for a smoother texture and richer taste of the milk.
Texture: For a smoother texture, use a nut milk bag or fine mesh strainer to remove any pea pulp. Storage: Shake well before use to ensure a consistent texture.
