🥛What is Hemp Seed Milk?

A type of dairy free milk that is made from hemp seeds blended in water resulting in a rich and creamy white milk. This homemade dairy free milk can be made in minutes.

😋Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Ready in minutes and stores in the fridge for about 5 days.
  • You control the ingredients, making it preservative free
  • Use where you would normally use any type of milk
  • Dietary friendly - dairy free, gluten free, refined sugar free, soy free, oil free

🥛Ingredients You’ll Need

two glass bowls, one filled with water the other with hemp seeds

Filtered water or mineral water is the liquid component of making this dairy free milk

Organic hemp seeds
are derived from the plant cannibas sativa. This ingredient has many health benefits including a high quality protein.

It is nutty in flavor and very creamy. It can be purchased from any health food store, most major supermarkets or buy it online here (affiliate link).

Tip: the general ratio of water to seeds is 1:8

Optional ingredients for minor flavor changes

To sweeten it, try adding maple Syrup or whole pitted Medjool dates. Start with a small amount such as 1 tablespoon of maple syrup or 1 Medjool date if using this recipe as is.

Salt will enhance the sweetness, only a smidge is needed, I like using Himalayan salt (affiliate link).

Vanilla is great if you will be using your hemp milk in desserts or baking. However, avoid this ingredient if you will be cooking with this milk.

🥛How to Make Hemp Seed Milk

Step 1 - In a high speed blender add hemp seeds and water (and any optional ingredients) and blend on high until smooth and creamy.

Step 2 - Use an organic unbleached cheesecloth (affiliate link) / nut bag over a bowl to strain the milk to create a smooth texture. Pour into a storage container and store sealed in the fridge for up to five days. 

Tip: Use the leftover pulp in a smoothie, try it in a blackberry strawberry banana smoothie.

🥤Serving Suggestions

This dairy free milk can be used as per any other milk.

Use hemp seed milk to make flavored milk such as strawberry milk or blueberry milk. 

Otherwise add some organic powders like cacao for chocolate flavor or maca powder for a malt flavor. You can even heat up this milk to create a hot beverage.

Try adding some caramel, like this one vegan caramel recipe. Or use it in smoothies, such as a delicious banana avocado smoothie.

Or make this warm thick and sweetened milk drink called Sahlab.

Lebanese rice pudding would be delicious if made with this milk.

❓FAQ

What do hemp seeds taste like?

Hemp seeds are similar in flavor to pine nuts, they are nutty and creamy when chewed. They can be eaten both raw or cooked.
