Have you ever tried making your own nut milk? I've tried using nut milk bags, but honestly don't love the work involved. However, when I came across the Almond Cow the process seemed so easy that I just had to get my hands on one. This machine does it all - making this Almond Cow Hazelnut Milk a simple, effortless recipe.
In this post, I'm sharing my recipe and step by step instructions for Hazelnut Milk made with the Almond Cow. If you prefer a different flavor or need an allergy friendly milk you can adjust this recipe by substituting any nut or seed for the hazelnuts. I sweetened this nut milk with Medjool dates. However, they can be substituted with a little sweetener or you can make the milk unsweetened.
How To Make Nut and Seed Milk
Before we jump into the recipe, I want to briefly explain the process of making your own nut milk with the Almond Cow. No matter what nut, seed or flavorings you use, the process of making milk is the same...and super simple!
(1) First, soak the nuts/seeds you want to use. This soaking chart for making nut milk (shown below) provides a general time frame for how long it takes to soak common nuts/seeds.
(2) Next, Fill the Almond Cow base to the min or max fill line. Optional: add some vanilla, a pinch of salt, sweetener (honey, maple syrup, monk fruit...) and any spices you want (cinnamon, nutmeg...) to the water.
(3) Drain the water from the soaked nuts/seeds and place them in the metal Almond Cow Basket. If you want to sweeten your milk with pitted dates, place them in the basket with the soaked nuts/seeds.
(4) Connect the metal basket to the lid and place the lid on the base.
(5) Lastly, plug the Almond Cow into the wall and press the button on top of the machine.
(6) Within minutes you have fresh, unprocessed, healthy nut milk. It can be used in your morning coffee, enjoyed on it's own or even used in recipes.
