  3. Let the starch settle

    • Pour the pea milk into a bowl and leave it to rest so the starch settles to the bottom.
    • Keep only the protein-rich milk from the top, leaving the starch layer behind.

  4. Heat and coagulate

    • Gently heat the pea milk in a pot, stirring, until hot but not boiling.
