Crafting Hemp Milk Using a Slow Juicer
The essence of any plant-based milk lies in its texture and consistency. While blenders are the conventional choice, diving into the world of slow juicers can be a delightful and game-changing experience. Slow juicers, known for their ability to extract the maximum liquid from ingredients while preserving their nutrients, can offer a uniquely rich and creamy texture to hemp milk. Here’s a specialized method for all the gourmet adventurers out there:
Ingredients:
- Shelled hemp seeds: 1 cup
- Filtered water: 3 cups
- Optional: Sweetener of your choice, vanilla extract or cocoa powder for flavor variations
Instructions:
- Soak in Splendor: Begin by soaking the hemp seeds in water for about 2-3 hours. This softens them slightly, allowing the juicer to extract the creamy essence more efficiently.
- The Great Setup: Assemble your slow juicer as per its manual. Make sure to have a bowl or jug at the outlet for the hemp milk and another for the residue.
- Feed Gradually: Drain the soaked hemp seeds. Start the slow juicer and gradually feed in the hemp seeds. As they get crushed, they will release their creamy liquid.
- The Water Dance: Slowly add the filtered water through the juicer. This helps extract any remaining goodness from the seeds and ensures you get the most out of them.
- Flavor Play: If you’re aiming for a flavored twist, now’s the time! Add your chosen sweetener, vanilla extract, or even cocoa powder to the milk and give it a gentle stir.
- Final Filter: Though the slow juicer does a commendable job, for an ultra-smooth texture, consider straining the hemp milk through a fine-mesh sieve or nut milk bag.
- Chill & Serve: Transfer the hemp milk to a glass bottle or jar and refrigerate. Shake well before use and enjoy its creamy, rich texture in all its glory.
Cooking Tips

Embarking on the hemp milk adventure is rewarding, but a few nudges in the right direction can transform good results into sheer perfection.
- The Right Seed: Always ensure you’re using fresh shelled hemp seeds. The fresher the seed, the creamier and more aromatic the milk.
- Cold Storage: While soaking hemp seeds, use cold water and, if possible, soak them in the refrigerator. This retains the fresh flavor of the seeds.
- The Straining Game: Never rush the straining process. Gentle pressure ensures you extract the milk without pushing through the gritty bits.
- Sweetening Sensibly: Hemp milk has a distinct taste, which can be altered drastically with sweeteners. Start with small amounts, taste, and adjust accordingly.
- Flavor Finesse: While adding flavor enhancers like vanilla or cocoa, ensure they’re of the highest quality. Remember, with something as pure as hemp milk, every addition is pronounced.
