Notes
- I highly recommend using a high powered blender i.e Blendtec or Vitamix.
- You will need hulled/seeds or hemp which is known as "hemp hearts" to make this milk.
- For an an intense chocolate flovour use 2 tablepoons of cacao powder instead.
- If you choose not to strain the milk it is normal for segments to settle at the bottom.
- If stored in a container/jar, shake before using the milk.
- The hemp milk should keep for up to 5 days.
- This milk is also suitable for home freezing.
- For a creamier, more concentrated chocolate milk, use more hemp and less water.
