Coffee Shop Worthy Hazelnut Milk

Makes 3 to 3½ Cups

“Decadent, luxurious, and totally splurge-worthy, this homemade hazelnut milk is fit for a high end coffee shop and it pairs perfectly in a cup of coffee or black tea. I use a mix of soaked hazelnuts and almonds, but feel free to use all hazelnuts if you prefer. It's lightly flavoured with notes of caramel (from Medjool dates), cinnamon, and a whole vanilla bean and I imagine you could turn it into a chocolate hazelnut milk quite easily by adding a bit of dutch-processed cocoa powder. This recipe is lightly adapted from my Homemade Almond Milk recipe.” Recipe from Oh She Glows Every Day by Angela Liddon Vegan, Gluten-Free, Grain-free, No bake/raw, Oil-free, refined Sugar-free, and Soy-free!

Ingredients

¾ cup (110g) raw hazelnuts
¼ cup (40g) raw almonds
3½ cups (820ml) water
2½ -3 pitted Medjool dates, to taste
1 vanilla bean, roughly chopped½ teaspoon (2.5ml) cinnamon
tiny pinch of fine grain sea salt (optional)

Method

Place hazelnuts and almonds in a bowl and cover with 2 to 3 inches of water. Soak overnight for 8-12 hours. Drain and rinse.

Place nuts into a blender along with the remaining ingredients. Blend on high for 1 minute.

Place a nut milk bag over a large bowl and slowly pour the milk mixture into the bag. Gently squeeze the bottom of the bag to release the milk. This process can take 3-5 minutes. You should be left with ¾ to 1 cup (240 ml) of pulp in the bag.

Using a funnel, carefully transfer the milk into a large mason jar and secure with lid. Chill in the fridge. It will stay fresh for 2-3 days. Give the jar a good shake before enjoying.

SOAK TIME: Overnight or 2-8 hours
