Bottled Up: 3 Ways To Make The Best Homemade Hemp Milk Ever

TCM Classics -- This story on homemade hemp milk originally ran in 2014, but we love it so much we decided to bring it back! This recipe will give you a full flavored classic hemp milk, but also discover our other variations of this delicious dairy alternative: we love this quick version that hacks the process down to two minutes and this epic strawberry homemade hemp milk that our readers swear by!.

Whether almond, hemp or hazelnut, nut 'milks' are here to stay. What was once a vegan-only trend for those in search of non-dairy solutions to their lactose-indifferent ways, nut milks like Pressed Juicery's classic vanilla almond and this homemade version of homemade hemp milk are so delicious, people on diets of every shape and size now love these delicious, nutritious drinks.

We made this version of nut milk with raw foodie and GoodBites founder, Angelica Xavier. We love Angelica for creating the raw, superfood-stuffed truffles, GoodBites - like most perfect foods, the truffles are crammed with raw, highly-nutritious ingredients, but taste like something you shouldn't let your trainer catch you eating. Angelica's love for raw food goes beyond chocolate and she's got the trademark raw foodie glow to show for it.

Hemp is a quick nut milk to make because, unlike almond, it doesn't need to be soaked overnight. Hemp seeds (hulled hemp nuts) are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, all 10 essential amino acids, calcium, potassium, phosphorous, vitamin A and magnesium. Drink it on it's own or, at Angelica's suggestion, add a little matcha tea for a healthy pick-me-up or a good sprinkling of chia seeds to create an incredible breakfast pudding.

We were delighted to find just how simple this is to make and how few items are required: a good blender, a woven nut milk bag, veggie bag or piece of cheesecloth,  a funnel, a large bowl to strain the milk in, and jars or bottles for the finished product.

Make the milk yourself with the recipe below and tell us how it turns out! See our slideshow for in-depth, visual instructions too. [olists num=1]
