Homemade Hazelnut Milk

 

I like to occasionally make homemade nut milks as it feels like a real treat.

This homemade hazelnut milk is a yummy dairy free alternative. It's super creamy with a little sweetness from the date and vanilla. By making your own plant-based milks you can ensure the ingredients going into it are clean.

This is my standard recipe when making any kind of plant-based milk.

Enjoy!
