Hazelnuts are found in cakes, cookies, pastries, and although we may think we consume them a lot, we should pay more attention to them especially in the winter. Hazelnut milk is particularly delicious and you can easily make it at home.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of hazelnuts
  
• 4 cups of water
  
• 5 pitted dates
  
• pinch of salt
  
• some vanilla for taste

Preparation:

First roughly grind the hazelnuts, then add finely chopped dates. Pour water over everything and let it sit overnight.

The next day, add salt and vanilla. Put everything in a blender and mix well, then strain through a cheesecloth (place the entire mixture in the cheesecloth, wrap it and gently squeeze out as much liquid as you can). Store the milk in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

We recommend drinking a cup of hazelnut milk every day.

You can use the remainder for a smoothie or pastry.

Hazelnut milk is rich in magnesium, selenium, calcium, manganese, has a lot of vitamin E and antioxidants. It is cholesterol-free and has no traces of antibiotics. If you mix a few tablespoons of cocoa into a glass of hazelnut milk, and for a thicker taste you can also add a banana, you will have an extremely delicious dessert with a creamy flavor.
