Make hemp milk yourself easily

Another advantage of hemp as an ingredient for homemade vegan milk substitute is its high content of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. And – now it gets interesting for all spontaneous people – even unpeeled hemp seeds do not need to be soaked for a long time, but can be immediately processed into delicious hemp milk. Fresh hemp milk also tastes completely different from store-bought and is significantly cheaper. This simple recipe for homemade hemp milk shows you how it's done!

INGREDIENTS

for one liter of homemade hemp milk:
100 g HANAFSAN organic hemp seeds
1 l water
5 soft dates

PREPARATION

1. Grind HANAFSAN organic hemp seeds very finely in a blender
2. Add 500 ml water and continue blending for about 4-5 minutes
3. Add dates and blend again
4. Strain the liquid through a fine cheesecloth or nut milk bag and press gently but thoroughly
5. Top up the hemp milk with water to 1000 ml, pour into a clean bottle with screw cap, and shake briefly before use.
6. The homemade hemp milk will keep in the refrigerator for about 3 days.

Tip: If the dates are too firm to blend, simply soak in warm water for about 10 minutes before preparation. Don't pour away the soaking water – use it to top up the hemp milk!
Another tip: Depending on how finely the hemp seed-date mixture is ground, the mass can be used for baking or cooking, for example for delicious hemp energy balls, or mixed into muesli.
