Chocolate and hazelnut, a match made in sweet tooth heaven but in this version, it’s actually pretty close to healthy! Delicious both hot and cold which makes it a perfect treat for all seasons of the year.

INSTRUCTIONS

Measure hazelnuts into a jar or bowl and cover with some water. Leave to soak for 8 hours.
Rinse and drain the hazelnuts using a nut bag.
Put the hazelnuts into a blender with 3 cups (750 mL) of water.
Blend until smooth, this will take about 2 – 3 minutes depending on your blender.
Pour the mixture into your nut bag with a jug/bowl underneath to catch the mylk.
Use an extra 1 cup (250 mL) of water to rinse out the blender and pour this through the nut mylk bag.
Give the bag a good squeeze to ensure you get all the goodness out of it.
Pour the fresh nut mylk back into the blender and add remaining ingredients, blend until combined.
Pour the nut mylk into a glass bottle and store in the refrigerator for up for 5 days, shake well before drinking.
