The present invention relates to a method for producing beverages on the basis of juice from the hemp plant. Leaves and bloom of the hemp plant have previously been processed to ethereal hemp oils by water steam distillation. Hemp seeds are an indispensable part of bird feeding. Hemp oil can also be obtained from the hemp seeds. Hemp fibres are separated from the stems by breaking or milling of the stems. Depending on the lengths of the obtained fibre, coarse fleece or fine cellulose is produced. A common application is as sealing material of pipe threads. The invention relates to a method for obtaining juice suitable for human consumption from the hemp plant, wherein the complete hemp stem is pressed after harvest without prior drying or retting. The invention further provides a method for obtaining juice from the hemp plant, wherein the upper leafy part of the hemp plant is cut, the leaves are stripped of the remaining stem, fibres and shives being separated from each other at the stem, the leafy part of the stem, the fibres and the shives being pressed individually under pressure and the so obtained pressed juices are being mixed in a controlled manner. In a yet further aspect, the invention relates to a method for the manufacturing of beverages on the basis of juice from the hemp plant, wherein the hemp juice is mixed with yeast and than fermented. |
