Ingredients:
Instructions:
- If using raw sunflower seeds, toast them lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until they are golden brown and fragrant. This enhances their flavor.
- Allow the toasted sunflower seeds to cool for a few minutes.
- In a blender, add the cooled sunflower seeds, honey, coconut milk, sea salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
- Blend the mixture on high speed for about 2-3 minutes, or until the sunflower seeds are thoroughly blended and the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure even mixing.
- If you prefer a smoother milk without any tiny bits of sunflower seeds, strain the mixture through a nut milk bag or a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl or pitcher. Use a spoon to press down and extract as much liquid as possible.
- Pour the Sunflower Coconut Milk into glasses. This milk can be enjoyed chill or warm, according to your preference.
- Store any leftover milk in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Shake well before using, as natural separation may occur.
Tips:
- Soak the sunflower seeds in water for a few hours or overnight to make them easier to blend and enhance their creaminess.
- For a smoother texture, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth after blending.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey, according to your taste preference.
- Experiment by adding a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom for an extra layer of flavor.
- Store any leftover milk in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days for the best taste and freshness.
