hemp milk

i only learnt this like 3 weeks ago but since then i have been making a ton of it. hemp milk.
it is just non-psychoactive hemp seeds, blended with water in a strong blender.
i have made the experience: if a blender is chosen that is too weak, it will not pulverize the hard shell enough so then there will be hard little bits in the end result. some people then filter the bits out with little cotton bags. i dunno why don't they just use coffee filters, do coffee filters ruin the taste maybe? coffee filters are awesome, i use coffee filters to clean the soap that i use for cleaning skateboard bearings so that i can reuse the soap over and over.
anyways i think having to filtrate the end product is too annoying so i am glad i have a strong blender, though lately i wish for one that is even stronger. there are really cool commercial blenders that have a sound dampening lid that can be closed by the user. i wish those would have more manual controls. i hate these blenders where i can't just gently dial the speed in with a round knob. fuck those blenders with the pre-defined speed levels, they feel like baby toys.
here is the recipe range i found i like:
3-4 tablespoons hempseeds for 400-700ml water.
>first i throw everything in and blend for ~45 seconds maximum strength on the blender
>then i wait around being handsome for 10 minutes as to give the hemp seeds a chance to soak because i suspect this makes them easier to crack open
>last step is blend again full power ~45 seconds
that's hemp milk. and then i usually put one or more of those extras in:
>few drops of maple syrup
>1-5 dates
>1-3 table spoons of raw coco powder
>1 handful of actual raw coco beans
(those are too expensive for me, i don't think i can buy them again)
>a short piece of actual vanilla bean
>1 banana
>a handful of red raspberry
it is delicious, i would have loved to hear about that sooner but nobody on this chan wrote about it. i used to use coconut milk for everything but obviously this is much more convenient to use then having to keep buying cans and cans of coconut milk.

this one is 2200w and has a cover that is supposed to make it not as loud. probably way better then mine.
mine is 1500w and it is extra loud...
what i hate about this one is the interface. it has different speed levels and programmable functions and i don't want those. i just want a speed control knob and an on-off button but those are rare and usually expensive.

this is one i think is nice too
>has just a speed control knob
>big container 2,5 liter
>1600w is not that much though, that's almost as weak as mine
>no sound reduction technology, i use mine a few times a day some days

+hard to believe how little this one costs.
+very strong 2200w
+no display
+speed control with a knob, hopefully very fine-tuneable
+even has a little manual timer after which it goes off automatically
-container is only 2 liter, that's not enough for batch cooking
-doesn't have the tamper
-doesn't have the sound shield.
-round container means harder to clean
-important gears probably not metal
-my guess is that it's loud

i pray to the blender gods because i don't know which blender to pick. fuck all these DRM blenders, if only there was an open source one.

just found a post of someone who had the same wish as me and apparently something emerged:
maybe this is open source

this would be perfect to replace my small glass blender. i looked at another blender for small sizes by tristar, which has a very weak ~200w motor that can use some glass jars but it seems like this one has variable speed up to 1000w and a wide compatibility to existing twist glasses.

this is disappointing. 2 speed settings. full speed and half speed -_-
otherwise nice machine, very expensive but widely compatible with spare containers and they even sell extra blades.

i forgot to pay for the glasses and paid them after like a week and now the TO82-standard glasses are still not here so i still have not really experimented with the new blender. i probably get them delivered before sunday.
i realize i have been missing a blender for very small portions of nut-butters, chopped nuts, sauces and pastes. i bought some peanuts but i already ate so many that there is probably no longer enough so i can make peanut butter from it, even in a small glass.
i will probably end up ordering a lot of glasses as small as 200ml so i can do stuff like this: batch prepare like 10 glasses of salsa with tomatos, onion, ginger, garlic, sesame and all the spices already in them BUT NOT BLENDED YET. and then when i want to eat a portion of the sauce, i just remove the regular lid, screw on the blending lid and make myself instant fresh sauce.
i love my raw sauces from tomato and sesame. i bought organic sesame seeds already, just waiting for the glasses to arrive so i can blend it into tahin.
fuck all the convenience food. i have my machines that help me prepare the raw food fresh, THAT'S PLENTY CONVENIENT 😆
i don't need the stupid supermarket to give me bad peanutbutter with cheap oil inside, just gimme some peanuts and i turn it into butter myself.
i believe the peanut will reveal to me that the market is mostly an illusion: how can 350g of factory peanutbutter be the same price as 200g of peanuts from the snack aisle while the peanuts are packaged in a cheap can and the peanutbutter comes in an actual glass? i guess i would have to buy peanut in 10kg bags before i start saving money making my own peanut butter.

they sell "peanuts for birds" way cheaper then peanuts for humans. i wonder what that is all about.

breaking hempmilk news:
i made sesame milk the same way i made hempmilk and it is delicious.
sorry to be condescending but the consumers with their beloved factory milks are idiots in comparison.
there is no need to be part of this nasty convenience milk industry when all you need to make your own is a hand full of seeds, water and a brrRRRRRRRrrrr machine. how is a big glass with seeds that you fill up every month not athousand times better then having to buy these little milk boxes every few days?
plus the convenience milk is more expensive! i'd guesstimate i pay like 0,05€ for a liter of sesame milk. factory milk is like 1,50€.
so my milk tastes better, is healthier, i can store it better and it cost like 1/30th of the price. tell me about this strange universe in which the people choose to keep hauling these stupid milk boxes because clearly i am not living in it!
biggest package of sesame seeds i was able to find in a store was 400g unfortunately. i guess i have to order them.
hngg that's it! the urge to use spreadsheets has arrived.

these are the sesame seeds i am using.
2,80€ for 400g.
i am calculating with using 4 tablespoons of sesame (might be too much) to produce 1 liter milk in the blender.
ok it is more expensive then i had guessed. it is only ~1/5th of the price of the factory milk.
factory pricing is a scam. they are 5 times too expensive and people are cattle and buy this. and then inflation comes and they still buy it! fuck the factory i say...
