I just whipped up my first ever glass of hemp milk (some raw foodists call it mylk to differentiate from animal milk). Let me tell you--it is great!
After making it I took it to my sister for a taste. She was skeptical when I told her it was milk (she never liked cow's milk). After tasting it and smacking her lips (quite loudly, I might add), she said: "Don't scare me like that again! Just call it Mocha next time and... I will have a glassful, please!"
Since it was my first time using hemp to make milk I did not jot down all proportions, but I will next time. As for now, enjoy the image! I am including a list of ingredients I used, and proportions as I can remember or guess them.
