i only learnt this like 3 weeks ago but since then i have been making a ton of it. hemp milk.
it is just non-psychoactive hemp seeds, blended with water in a strong blender.
i have made the experience: if a blender is chosen that is too weak, it will not pulverize the hard shell enough so then there will be hard little bits in the end result. some people then filter the bits out with little cotton bags. i dunno why don't they just use coffee filters, do coffee filters ruin the taste maybe? coffee filters are awesome, i use coffee filters to clean the soap that i use for cleaning skateboard bearings so that i can reuse the soap over and over.
anyways i think having to filtrate the end product is too annoying so i am glad i have a strong blender, though lately i wish for one that is even stronger. there are really cool commercial blenders that have a sound dampening lid that can be closed by the user. i wish those would have more manual controls. i hate these blenders where i can't just gently dial the speed in with a round knob. fuck those blenders with the pre-defined speed levels, they feel like baby toys.
here is the recipe range i found i like:
3-4 tablespoons hempseeds for 400-700ml water.
>first i throw everything in and blend for ~45 seconds maximum strength on the blender
>then i wait around being handsome for 10 minutes as to give the hemp seeds a chance to soak because i suspect this makes them easier to crack open
>last step is blend again full power ~45 seconds
that's hemp milk. and then i usually put one or more of those extras in:
>few drops of maple syrup
>1-5 dates
>1-3 table spoons of raw coco powder
>1 handful of actual raw coco beans
(those are too expensive for me, i don't think i can buy them again)
>a short piece of actual vanilla bean
>1 banana
>a handful of red raspberry
it is delicious, i would have loved to hear about that sooner but nobody on this chan wrote about it. i used to use coconut milk for everything but obviously this is much more convenient to use then having to keep buying cans and cans of coconut milk.
