Ingredients

¾ cup hulled/shelled hemp seeds (150g)(known as hemp hearts)
4 cups filtered water (946ml)

For optional ad ins

2 dates pitted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (4g)
¼ teaspoon cinnamon (0.5g)
1 tablespoon matcha (15g)

Instructions

Add the hemp seeds (hearts), water and any optional ad ins to your blender.
Put the lid on and blitz into a smooth consistency.
Use a cheese cloth of nut milk bag to strain the milk into a large bowl (this is an optional step, if you don't do this you may notice some of grit at the bottom when you bottle it).
Squeeze out any excess liquid
.Store the milk in a mason jar or jug in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

I highly recommend using a high powered blender i.e a Blendtec or Vitamix.
You will need hulled/seeds or hemp which is also known as "hemp hearts" to make this milk.
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 milk, use less water.
