I’m so excited to be sharing this recipe with you! It’s becoming one of my favourite afternoon drinks as it’s warming and so filling too. I have to start by pointing out that this recipe makes three servings of 190g each. That’s a small mug serving (the average mug size is 300g), so if you’re low carb/ ketogenic be careful when dishing it out. If you’re not low carb you can fill your mug up as much as you like, but be warned, it’s very filling and too much will be a bit sickly!

I thought hazelnut milk had sugar.
Thank you for the reply – you can make hazelnut milk yourself. I don’t have a recipe on my blog but if you try googling it you will find simple recipes. Wellness Mama and Against All Grain both have recipes for making milk (from nuts or coconuts) – you just use whatever nuts you want. Ideally you’ll need a nut bag to strain the pulp from the ‘milk’ but I’ve used washed cotton tea towels before or muslin clothe. You can also keep the pulp and make cookies with them (again – you’ll find a recipe on Against All Arain for this!). Em x
