Poppy seed milk is a creamy, plant-based beverage packed with calcium, healthy fats, and antioxidants. Its naturally nutty flavor pairs well with honey, vanilla, or cinnamon, making it a delicious and wholesome alternative to traditional milk.
Ingredients
- 100 g ground poppy seeds
- 500 ml water
Procedure
- Soak the poppy seeds: Place the ground poppy seeds in a bowl and add 500 ml of water. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for about 6 hours to soften and release its nutrients.
- Blend: After soaking, pour everything into a high-speed blender and blend on the highest setting for about 3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- Strain: Pour the blended mixture through a fine sieve or cheesecloth several times to remove any remaining seed particles, leaving you with a smooth, milk-like liquid.
- Serve: Pour into a glass and enjoy as is, or chill for a refreshing drink.
Final Tip
For a touch of natural sweetness, add honey, maple syrup, or dates. You can also enhance the flavor with a pinch of cinnamon, vanilla extract, or a drop of almond essence. Serve cold for the best taste!
Enjoy! 🥛
