Homemade Hemp Milk
Drink - non-alcoholic
Ingredients
1/2 cup hulled hemp seeds
3-4 cups water (use less water for thicker creamier milk!)
1 pinch sea salt
1 whole date pitted (optional // for sweetness // or 1 Tbsp (15 ml) maple syrup)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Description
PREP TIME: 5 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 5 minutes
Hemp milk has a unique, nutty flavour and is reassuringly nutritious, as well as being rich in omega-3 and -6 fatty acids.
Enjoy cold (and shake well) for best results. It's delicious straight from the jar, in smoothies, with granola, or in baked goods!
Directions
Add hemp seeds, water, salt, and any additional add-ins (optional) to a high-speed blender. Blend for about 1 minute or until the mixture seems well combined.
Scoop out a small sample with a spoon to test flavor/sweetness. Add more dates, salt, or vanilla as needed.
Pour the mixture directly into a serving container. You can strain it, but it doesn’t need it in my experience. If straining, pour over a large mixing bowl or pitcher covered with a nut milk bag.
Transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate.
