Pumpkin seeds milk is a wonderful way to add these healthful green seeds to your diet. Pumpkin seeds are a storehouse of various minerals and vitamins and are known to promote bone health, amongst numerous other health benefits. Pumpkin seeds milk has a subtle sweet flavour and is not very distinctive. It is thereby a simple replacement to dairy milk, especially for kids.

Ingredients

Pumpkin seeds: 1 cups (without shells)
Dates syrup or honey: 1 tbsp or as desired
Cinnamon: ½ tsp
Nutmeg powder: ¼ tsp
Water: 2 cups
Muslin Cloth

Method

Soak the pumpkin seeds overnight or for 6-7 hours.
Put the soaked pumpkin seeds in a blender with 2 cups of water and add the honey or dates syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg. Blend well.
Now strain the contents through a muslin cloth or a nut milk bag.
Serve the milk and enjoy!

Wellcure Tip:

Variation - you could add raw cacao powder to get a chocolatey flavour.
For a quicker version, soak pumpkin seeds in hot water for about an hour and continue with the recipe.
You could make a large batch and store in the fridge. Stays good for 3 days.
