Equipment

  • High speed blender.
  • Nut milk bag or cheesecloth.
  • Large mixing bowl.
  • Serving glasses.

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup raw hazelnuts, soaked overnight.
  • 2 cups (480ml) water, filtered, bottled or spring water
  • 1 pitted date.

Instructions
 

  • Blend. Place the pre-soaked hazelnuts, pitted date and water into your blender and blend until smooth.
  • Pour. Pour the liquid through a nut milk bag into a clean bowl, separating the milk from the pulp.
  • Strain. Pick up the nut milk bag and squeeze as much liquid out of the bag as possible, leaving only the hazelnut pulp behind.
  • Serve. Pour into glasses to serve or refrigerate in a mason jar with a lid and serve chilled when required.

Notes

Soaking the nuts softens them and produces a smoother tastier milk.
You can flavour the milk by adding a little vanilla, a pinch of sea salt or some powdered cinnamon.
Store in a suitable container with a lid for up to 3 days.
