Quinoa Milk Recipe (high protein)

Celeb chef Teresa Cutter shows us how to make quinoa milk. It's easier than you might think!

With the march of coconut and almonds into milk cartons, it’s not easy choosing a faux moo juice. While researchers at the Universitat Politècnica de València are experimenting with hazelnuts, walnuts and chestnuts, we’re topping up our microwaved lattes with celeb chef Teresa Cutter’s high-protein quinoa* milk.
