Ingredients

Ingredients for 4 portions

3 Brazil nuts

1 handful of broken cashews

1 tbsp hulled hemp seeds

1 pinch cinnamon

1 pinch salt

1 tsp date or maple syrup for sweetening (optional)

Preparation

Place the Brazil nuts and cashews in a bowl. Bring water to a boil and pour it over the nuts. Let soak for at least 5–10 minutes.

Pour the water-nut mixture into a blender. Add hemp seeds, spices and sweetener of choice and blend on the highest setting. The more powerful the blender, the finer the result.

If any remaining pieces are bothersome, strain the nut milk through a cloth or very fine-mesh sieve. The remaining nut pulp can be used in cake or bread dough.

Finally, blend with the desired beverage or chill and enjoy.
