    I would like to see a recipe for a cake that requires milk. I used oat milk to make Hamburger Helper (I know, not a recipe – not looking at the recipe but rather the result) and it never thickened up like it does with regular milk. So, I would like to see just about any recipe that substitutes barley milk for regular milk. I love your guys show!

  • I’m wondering how barley milk would work for plant based yogurt. Some plant milks seem to work better than others.

  • Dairy free high protein ice cream made with barley milk would be fantastic!

  • Is there some reason you are using pearl barley and not using hulled barley? Also, a recipe of scalloped potato onion and cheese would be my preference where you use the barley milk with your roux to make the sauce and we see the results when baked in the casserole.

    • We used pearled barley as the hull and germ would be wasted through the straining process.

  • I was wondering if you could help us figure out a good homemade Plant based coffee creamer. So thicker/creamier than milk that “tastes good” in coffee. I think there is more to it than just adding more Tara Gum.
