Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw melon seeds
  • 3 cups filtered water
  • Sweetener of choice (such as honey, maple syrup, or agave) to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Soak the Melon Seeds: Start by soaking one cup of raw melon seeds in water for 4 to 6 hours, or overnight. This softens the seeds and helps unlock their creamy texture and nutrients.
  2. Drain and Rinse: After soaking, drain the seeds and rinse them thoroughly under cold water to remove any impurities and bitterness.
  3. Blend with Fresh Water: Transfer the soaked seeds to a blender and add 3 cups of filtered water. Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  4. Strain the Milk: Pour the mixture through a nut milk bag or fine mesh strainer into a bowl, squeezing firmly to extract as much liquid as possible.
  5. Add Flavorings: Mix in your sweetener of choice, a splash of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine all the flavors evenly.

Notes

  • Use raw, untreated melon seeds for the best flavor and nutrition.
  • Longer soaking softens seeds more, yielding creamier milk.
  • Blend using cold water to keep the milk fresh and light.
  • Store milk refrigerated in a sealed container and consume within 3 days.
  • Use leftover seed pulp in smoothies, baking, or granola for extra fiber.
