After discovering how easy and delicious it is to make my own nut milks I rarely buy it from the store. Once you see how simple it is you will agree. I combine two flavors into one, the result is rich and delicious.
¾ cup whole almonds
¾ cup whole hazelnuts
About 4 cups water divided
4 dried and pitted dates
2 tbsp honey
3-4 layers of cheesecloth
Fill a container with a fitted lid with almonds and cover them with the water, about 1 cup. Place the lid on the container and allow the nuts to soak overnight. Drain the nuts in the morning and place in a blender. Cover the nuts with 1 cup of water and blend until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add remaining water, dates and honey to blend. Next, line a fine mesh strainer with 3-4 layers of cheesecloth and push the mixture through. Give the cloth a gentle squeeze to get any excess liquid out of the mixture.
Make 5 cups
