Is it good to drink hazelnut milk?

Hazelnut milk is a good source of vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and antioxidants, making it a healthy and delicious addition to your diet when consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. However, just like with any other food or beverage, it's essential to be mindful of your individual dietary requirements and preferences. In case of any doubts or questions, consulting with a healthcare professional is always a good idea.

Why is hazelnut milk pink?

Hazelnut milk usually isn't pink. Generally, it has an off-white or creamy beige color, as you can see in pictures. However, the color can vary depending on the brand and the ingredients used. If you make your own hazelnut milk, it may have a slightly pinkish tint since the hazelnuts are not peeled before blending with water. If the milk turns pink after a few days, it may be an indication of spoilage. Follow proper storage instructions to keep your nut milk fresh.

Can you make hazelnut milk using hazelnut butter?

Yes, it is possible to use hazelnut butter to make hazelnut milk. Simply blend 1 tablespoon of hazelnut butter with every cup of water, and there's no need to strain the mixture. This is a quick and convenient option for when you're short on time. Keep in mind that the nuts-to-water ratio will be different since hazelnuts are not soaked before making the nut butter, and the taste will also differ as the nuts are roasted to enhance their flavor.

Notes

Before using the milk, give it a good shake or stir as it may separate during storage.

While a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth-lined sieve can also be used to strain the milk, a nut milk bag is highly recommended for best results. It strains the milk thoroughly, leaving no residue and resulting in a smoother texture.

If you want to experiment with different flavors, such as chocolate hazelnut nut milk, try adding some optional ingredients. You can find some ideas in the ‘Variations & Additions’ section.

You can save the leftover hazelnut pulp (residue in the bag) for other purposes. Check out the ‘Tips & recipe notes’ section for some ideas on how to use it.
