You can find nut milk bags from health food stores or from raw online stores. Make sure you wash the bag as soon as you are done so you can reuse again and again
To strain: place your nut milk bag over a large glass container, large jar or jug. Pour the milk into the cloth and then squeeze it like a cow teet until every last drop is out. ??✨Keep in a sealed glass jar in the fridge for two days, possibly three if kept very cold
Don’t waste the hazelnut meal. Save it and dehydrate it, and then use it to make cookies, crusts
Makes about 2 cups milk
