Hemp seeds, water and salt for hemp milk

To make your own hemp milk you'll need: 100 g (3.5 oz) of hemp seeds, 1 liter (about 4 cups) of water and a pinch of salt. First, soak the seeds for half an hour. Put the 100 g of seeds in a bowl and cover them with half a liter (about 2 cups) of water. Once the 30 minutes are up, drain the seeds. To make the milk, put half the seeds in a blender with half a liter of water and blend for 5 minutes. Then add the rest of the seeds and the other half liter of water and repeat. Doing it in batches instead of dumping everything in at once makes sure the seeds get properly blended, since they're tiny. Blend for another 5 minutes. Finally, strain the milk through a nut milk bag or cheesecloth and store it in a clean glass bottle. Hemp milk keeps in the fridge for 2-3 days. It tastes a lot like almond or hazelnut milk and it's easy to digest. Pinch of salt
