Non-Dairy Milk

So I haven't had dairy in 5 years. I usually buy So Delicious brand coconut milk, but today I made my own nut milk and it was super easy. Below is Meghan Telpner's recipe. You can visit her blog HERE.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup sesame seeds, soaked and rinsed
2 T hemp seeds
2 T pumpkin seeds, soaked and rinsed
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 dates or honey to taste 
2 cups water

Directions:
Place sesame seeds, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, vanilla, dates/honey and water in your high speed blender and blend until smooth.  
Strain out pulp using a nut milk bag.

If making chocolate milk, rinse blender and pour milk back in, adding 1/4 c cacao or carob powder and additional sweetener to taste. Blend until smooth.


Chill, then enjoy. Can store in a mason jar in your fridge for three days.

*I want to try it with coconut next. You could always use almonds or cashews too. Use 4 parts water and 1 part nuts/seeds (2 cups water + 1/4 cup nuts/seeds).
