There we go one cup of hemp seeds in the blender now we have 3 cups of water in here and we’re just going to put 3 cups of water

What we have here is 2 dates that we soaked and We also took the pit out because it’s good to have a little bit of sweetness in the hemp milk. You could also use a little bit of maple syrup or any sweetener like stevia or none at all. 

So we’re going to put 2 soaked dates with the pit taken out. we have some raw vanilla powder and these really fun little spoons.

So you’re going to use a dash of vanilla if you like vanilla which we do we’re going to add a little more here. Righty we’re ready that’s all it takes     

• 3 cups water
• 2 dates soaked
•  1 cup of hemp seeds dash vanilla ( If desired)

and we are just going to blend this until everything gets smooth. It will take  30-40 seconds to blend it on high.

Now the important part here is this little bag. It’s called a nut milk bag because this is where you’re going to actually pour the nut milk through there and with clean hands we’re just going to gently squeeze this to get all the milk out of here. It will smell delicious.

You can really spend a lot of time squeezing this. we’re not going to go too crazy here so squeeze it till it’s all out of there and then what we’re going to do well first what we’re going to do is pour yourself a glass and try it.

It will taste so yummy that you would love to drink this immediately.
