Hemp Milk
Hemp milk is a creamy and nutritious plant-based alternative to cow’s milk. One serving provides almost 10 grams of protein. Recipe yields about 4 ½ cups. To double, make it in two separate batches to avoid blender overflow.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup hemp hearts
- 4 cups water (room temperature or chilled), divided
- Up to 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, to taste
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine the hemp hearts and two cups of the water in a blender. Start on a low setting and increase the speed to the highest setting until the hemp seeds have completely disappeared into the mixture. This could take 1 minute in a high-powered blender or longer in a regular blender.
- Add 2 cups more water, your sweetener of choice (if desired), and vanilla extract. Blend on high until well blended.
- Strain the milk through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth. Store the milk in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Stir well before serving.
Notes
Recipe adapted from my cashew milk.
Make it vegan: Choose maple syrup instead of honey.
