- Place hemp seeds, filtered cold water, dates, spices, vanilla and sea salt in blender
- Blend for 1-2 minutes or until mixture is creamy and completely blended
- Strain hemp milk through nut milk bag or cheese cloth.

* Hemp milk is not as thick and grainy as nut milks, therefore the straining step can be negated. If you prefer a thinner milk, then strain with nut milk bag/cheese cloth.
** Keep refrigerated for up to 5 days.
