Home Made Hemp Milk

About

This hemp milk has a rich, nutty flavour and tastes so much fresher than the pre-packaged variety. Most tetra packed brands contain added gums and sweeteners which you can avoid by making your own. Hulled hemp is somewhat soft so it blends up quickly and easily. Hemp milk is an excellent substitute for dairy or soy milk and is very nutritious to boot. Hemp milk is best consumed raw as heating denatures the essential fatty acids which are an important nutritional element in this food.
