Making peanut butter milk is more than just mixing peanut butter into a glass of milk, so let's make some and see if it tastes any good. I was inspired to make this from a Reddit post on Unpopular opinions.
peanut milk is actually a common homemade plant based milk go to in brazil!! there are many different ways to prepare it (soak them raw, blend with water and strain, then you could cook them after like with soymilk or leave them be; soak them after toasted, blend with water and strain; buy peanut paste, which is pretty much what you've done, mix with water and blend, and probably some others) it's creamy and has a strong taste, but it works great for any mix with coffee, or on recipes that would use heavy cream or coconut milk (you just have to adjust the texture by boiling some of the water from the milk away) it's also the only decent and cheap alternative to sweet condensed milk i've made by myself
Here in Trinidad and Tobago, and I assume in the wider diaspora we have a drink made by blending pb with milk and various spices/flavors and sugar. It's called peanut punch and its delicious but probably pretty unhealthy. The occasional bits of peanut are a treat though I can see texture averse people might not be into that.
Peanut Punch is not as unhealthy as you think bro. What makes it less healthy is the crazy amount of sugar that we typically use, especially for those that use condensed milk in the making of it. what is do is substitute sugar with dates, or banana and use the natural peanut butter.
You could try the process for making any vegetal milk, like oats, soy, or almonds, just roast the peanuts, then boil them in water, let them rest in the water on the fridge overnight, and blend everything together, add something to stabilize the emulsion and you should have peanut milk.
I've recently been binging on Vietnamese peanut sauce (for like noodles with tofu). it's just amazing. I could eat it every day. so to answer your title: YES I AM READY LET'S GOOOO Edit: since you're already deeply invested in "making particles very small", how about buying a centrifuge so you can surface the oil? it should be much lighter than the particles so anything that can do up to 5-10k RPM should be good. now ofc the important factor is relative centrifugal force, and idk 100 G sounds good. idk if that's a worthy investement but definitely something to have in a "molecular" kitchen.
i love how you experiment with foods in these ways. what do u think would happen if u treated coffee beans as if u were making peanut butter? or cocoa beans? what do you think would happen if you treated peanuts as if you were making a chocolate bar?? im so inspired by your approach :0
There’s a Guyanese restaurant I like in Montréal that does an awesome peanut punch. It’s milk, peanut, sugar, probably some flavour syrup all blended up with ice that makes this delicious frozen flurry.
My family often uses peanut butter as a topping for vanilla ice cream. It is one of my favorite, and I imagine this would be pretty similar! It would make an awesome milkshake too.
I've already been making this for a long time. I do it by making a syrup with the peanut butter. I let syrup sit for about a day inside the freezer, during which the syrup thickens (make sure to make is sugary enough to not freeze) and the oil from the peanuts settles on top
I really wish patisserie conches were easier to find. It's so hard to get to that smooth particle size using home gamer stuff. That chefsteps video about making super-smooth pistachio butter in one has been stuck in my mind for years now.
Great video been a fan for the last couple years. Can you do anything in the way of tackling a home made peanut butter cup or peanutbutter - ish cup or even peanut butter cup - ish?
A local gas station chain here in Knoxville, TN (Weigel’s) carried peanut butter milk for a while as a promotional thing. Never tried it, but it was available
I do it with chocolate, peanutbutter, and banana. Using regular store bought pb, the one where the oil doesn't separate works well enough for it. Though I understand why folks go for the natural pb. Another way of doing it is peanutbutter powder, if you don't feel like making your own pb and trying to press out the oils.
I used to make peanut butter milk when I was in college. I loved it! Just milk and a couple of scoops of Jif in the blender. I even tried making hot cocoa with it for a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup hot chocolate, but that never worked out very well.
When I was a kid, one of my favorite summer treats was milk blended with peanut butter and banana. So I'm not surprised that your peanut butter milk was good.
I live in the northeastern US and we actually do have peanut butter milk! You can buy it at gas stations and convenience stores, although it is pretty rare.
Amazing video! As a peanut butter fanatic, I've always loved peanut-Anything. There's a fast food place in the Philadelphia airport that makes "The Jimmy Carter" smoothie: Milk, yogurt, peanut butter (regular), and banana. It's amazing and I usually get 2 whenever I fly in/out there. I can totally understand peanut butter milk by just eliminating the yogurt, banana, and using natural peanut butter. If this was marketed you'd need to shake it; then again, we're supposed to shake everything, so why not PB Milk?
Before watching this video i want to guess that factories may not want to make a peanut product due to the risk of cross-contamination with all their other products
i love your channel. I made peanut milk a few times at home by diluting peanut flour ( which is already defatted and pretty darn water soluble), grab a bag on amazon and make a video about it please. A tip: toast at a slightly lower temp(like 20f) but for longer to develop toasty but not burnt flavor throughout the peanuts/peanut flour, i guess it would work for other things too . I wish you bring peanut flour under the spotlight and stores start carrying it at a reasonable prices cause right now it is considered a novelty item for people into fitness that like their pb but dont have room for the calories in their diet. It was four times more expensive than peanuts by weight last time i bought it. Amazon should have it but if everything goes wrong a europe based shop called bulk powders carry it (it is not in bulk, 500 grams pouches iirc). Love you man, keep being awesome and inquisitive. By the way why you didnt use the equipment you used for the chocolate videos for this one too?
"this nice little tray" Brings out some eldritch abomination of a tray that looks like it's been passed in his family since the 1800s and hasn't been washed since WW2
as a kid in the 80s i got $50 for a panel in the mall to test new milk flavors. the peanut butter milk killed. we all demanded more. unanimous hit. figured they'd rush to market. never saw it happen
There is a product called PBFit that is basically the left overs from extracting all the oil from peanuts. If you really like the peanut milk, it would probably be easier to just use it.
Peanut butter milkshakes are amazing, drinking the milk after eating a bowl of peanut butter crunch is amazing, so why wouldn't it work as flavored milk?
Peanut milk… pretty common too in China, sold in bottles ❤️ beats walnut milk in most way possible. (Also peanut milk is better than regular milk against the spicy in my experience for some reason. Someone should dig into that)
Why get rid of the oil. It has a lot of flavor. Use and emulsifier and you do not have to worry about the separation. Or, use a peanut butter that already has emulsifiers.
I work as a processor at a small local creamery and we make peanut butter chocolate milk. Its honestly just deeply mediocre and is probably our worst selling flavor, but there is a small group of customers that are obsessed with it. It just doesn't sell very well.
I always wanted to emulsify some cheddar cheese powder (very finely ground) in some milk, then pour it over Cheez-Its and eat it like cereal. My loved ones have made me promise not to try in their presence.
I thought you were going to make a nut milk like almond or cashew, not add dairy milk to peanuts. It’s pretty common to add peanut butter to things like milkshakes and ice cream already so I think most people would have an idea of what it tastes like with cow’s milk.
Dude, you made peanut punch without sugar. You can blend it with normal peanut butter and it will taste the same. I make what you made all the time for my kids you don't have to take out the oil you know. 😏 I guess it's not common were you're from.
Huh, I thought this would be a dairy free ‘milk’. Like almond milk, cashew milk, hassle nut milk and other likes it. But it’s a peanut butter flavoured milk. I was surprised the oil was a problem. As I know hot chocolate only made by mixing milk and Nutella is pretty popular (though I think it strongly tastes of hassle nuts rather then chocolate). Wonder what makes the fat work better to mix with the milk for Nutella
You can actually mix oil and water under a vacuum that will create an emulsion. Thats how you get vegan milk. Not sure if you can use this technique using peanut oil. The oil is pretty thick.
Sorry, but this is a bit ignorant … peanut butter milk is common across the Caribbean and Latin America. It’s even been offered for generations in school alongside white & chocolate milk in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 (which is literally a part of the US)
