Ingredients
- 1 cup poppy seeds
- 4 cups water
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the poppy seeds thoroughly under cool running water using a fine mesh sieve to remove any impurities.
Step 2
Place the rinsed poppy seeds in a bowl and cover with enough water to submerge them. Let them soak for at least 4 hours or overnight for optimal results.
Step 3
Drain the soaked poppy seeds and transfer them to a blender.
Step 4
Add 4 cups of fresh water to the blender along with the optional maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt for flavor enhancement.
Step 5
Blend the ingredients on high speed for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
Step 6
Strain the mixture through a nut milk bag, fine mesh sieve, or cheesecloth into a large bowl or jug to separate the liquid from the pulp.
Step 7
Pour the strained poppy seed milk into a clean bottle or pitcher and refrigerate. It will keep for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
Step 8
Shake well before serving, as natural separation may occur. Enjoy chilled or use as a dairy alternative in your favorite recipes!
