HOMEMADE HAZELNUT MILK (non-dairy)

I prefer to make my own nut milk.  I find that carton nut-milks have a lot of added ingredients and have an after taste.  It is so easy to blend up fresh and the taste is creamy, clean and delicious..  Once you taste homemade nut-milk you won’t drink it from the carton anymore.   If you don’t strain your milk it can take less than five minutes to make. 

If you do strain, use the pulp in your favorite grain as it is cooking.  

You will need:

High speed blender

1 1/2 cup filtered water

1/4 cup hazelnuts (best to soak overnight and drain the water off)

1 teaspoon maple syrup or to your taste

1/2 teaspoon vanilla powder

Blend on high speed water and hazle nut .  Strain thru cheesecloth or fine strainer for a

 smooth non-pulp texture.  Add vanilla and maple syrup then blend for a one minute more.
