Hemp Milk Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw Hemp Seeds (Provides a creamy texture and nutty flavor)
- 4 cups Filtered Water (Adjust according to desired thickness)
- 2 tablespoons Sweetener (optional) (Maple syrup or agave syrup can be used)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (optional) (Adds aromatic quality to the milk)
- 1 pinch Salt (optional) (Enhances overall flavor)
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect 1 cup of raw hemp seeds, 4 cups of filtered water, and optional sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt for flavoring.
- Rinse Hemp Seeds: Rinse the hemp seeds under cold running water for about 30 seconds to clean and remove any impurities.
- Blend Ingredients: Combine the rinsed hemp seeds, 4 cups of filtered water, sweetener, and vanilla extract (if using) in a high-speed blender. Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth.
- Adjust Consistency: Check the texture of the milk; it should be smooth and slightly frothy. If you prefer a thinner milk, add more water and blend again briefly.
- Strain (Optional): If a silkier texture is desired, strain the milk through a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag to remove hemp seed pulp.
- Store: Pour the hemp milk into a clean glass jar or bottle and refrigerate. It will keep fresh for 4 to 5 days. Remember to shake well before each use as natural separation may occur.
- Enjoy: Use your homemade hemp milk in smoothies, coffee, oatmeal, or any recipe that calls for plant-based milk.
Notes
- Adjust water amount to achieve preferred milk thickness.
- Optional sweeteners and vanilla add flavor but can be omitted for an unsweetened version.
- Shake well before each use, as hemp milk naturally separates when stored.
- Consume within 4-5 days for best freshness.
- Straining is optional depending on texture preference.
