Hazelnut milk is a plant-based drink made by soaking raw hazelnuts in water, blending them, and straining the mixture through cheesecloth. Milk made with roasted hazelnuts is darker with a smoky aroma, while raw hazelnuts make a lighter, creamier drink. There is no cooking, so it is fresh and should be consumed soon.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Soak the Hazelnuts

10 min

Place the hazelnuts in a wide bowl, add enough cold water to cover them by 3 cm, and let them soak. When the soaking time is up, discard the water and rinse the hazelnuts with cold water; the soaking water tastes astringent and should not be added to the milk.

2

Blend

5 min

Add the drained hazelnuts, 1 liter of clean water, the date, and the salt to a blender. Blend on high for 3 minutes, until the mixture turns milk-white.

3

Strain

5 min

Pour the mixture into a strainer lined with a double layer of cheesecloth. Twist the cloth and squeeze out every last drop. Set the pulp aside in a separate container.

4

Bottle and Chill

5 min

Pour the milk into a bottle sterilized in boiling water for 10 minutes. Seal it, refrigerate, and serve cold.

Reminder

Soak the hazelnuts in water for 8 hours before blending; this inactive time is not included in the recipe duration. Soaking softens the nuts and improves the yield. Because the milk is not cooked, refrigerate it for up to 3 days. It will naturally settle, so shake it before each serving. Use the strained pulp in cakes or porridge rather than discarding it. Allergen: This recipe contains tree nuts. Check packaged products for other allergens.

Fındığı bir gece ıslatınca süt çok daha beyaz ve yumuşak çıkıyor. İki saat ıslattığım ilk denemede posası kaba kaldı ve süzgeçte tıkandı.
