Preparation
Step 1
Add hazelnuts to a bowl and cover with enough water to submerge. Soak 6-8 hours or overnight. This helps them soften enough so that they can blend properly.
Step 2
In the morning, drain hazelnuts from their soaking water and rinse them in a colander.
Step 3
Add soaked hazelnuts and 4 cups of fresh filtered water to a high-powered blender. Add in any flavor additions you’d like to make them your own like the cocoa powder, maple syrup and sea salt.
Step 4
Blend on high speed for 1 minute, adding 30 seconds more if you feel it necessary to blend.
Step 5
Place your nut milk bag over a large bowl or pitcher. Pour the hazelnut milk into the bag and strain the liquid into the bowl, using your hands to wring out all of the milk.
Step 6
Pour the hazelnut milk from the bowl into glass jars. Milk will keep in the fridge for up to a week, if not longer. If it separates, simply shake the jars.
