For a fast and easy way to make hemp milk, with less straining.Ingredients: 100g of hemp hearts 1 litre of water — Honey or Dates to taste — Method: This is a very easy method. We just add hemp hearts and water together in a blender. The hemp hearts will break down into creamy milk, but the odd bits of hemp may still be present so feel free to pop it through a strainer. For extra smooth milk with no bits, you can pop it through a cheesecloth. You might want to add honey, dates or vanilla extract for flavour. I personally like to add more hemp hearts and this makes the milk turn into more of a cream, great to add to other dishes or provide a more protein-packed drink, great with other ingredients such as cocoa powder for nice chocolate milk.  In recent years, alternative plant-based milks have gained popularity, and one such option that deserves attention is hemp milk or cream.
