Pumpkin Spice Milk

Makes 2 cups

This is a wonderful drink to enjoy as we begin to enter into the fall.  It’s satisfying, comforting, and so yummy!

•    1 cup raw pumpkin seeds – soaked for 6 hours if you have time; otherwise just use as is
•    3 cups ionized or spring water
•    ¼ cup honey or 3 dates
•    1/8 tsp Himalayan salt
•    1 tsp vanilla extract
•    ½ tsp pumpkin spice

Directions:  Place all ingredients in the blender.  Blend for 1-2 minutes to really break down the seeds.  Strain milk by placing strainer over a pitcher and then pouring milk into strainer.  Do this slowly as it takes a little time for the milk to drain through the small holes.  Refrigerate for 1 hour and enjoy.  Store in the fridge and consume within for 3-5 days.
