Winter Nectar

Ok, I admit it, I had to change my mind: I thought that almond milk was the non-plus-ultra amongst raw drinks but after tasting this…! There’s nothing to do … now I’m addicted!

Ingredients:
(makes 2 cups)
a handful of shelled raw hazelnuts (but still with their skins)
a handful of shelled raw almonds (still with their skins too)
2 cups of water
a hint of vanilla
nutmeg
6 mejoul dates

Method:
Soak the almonds and the hazelnuts overnight in a bowl, and dates in an other one (as then you’ll reuse their water). The following day blend hazelnuts, almonds, dates and water and then filter with a fine gauze. Now add vanilla and mix well.  Serve it in a mug with a sprinkling of nutmeg on top.

Comments:
Well, maybe it has nearly a billion kilocalories, maybe it is too fat, maybe nuts should not be mixed with sugars… However, guys, it is sooooooooo good!!!!!!!!

   This must be soooooo delicious! I’d get fat even thinking of drinking it but who cares, nuts are really good for your health

   I am guilty! I did it! oh my gosh, so good! I didn’t have dates and I used raisins instead.. and I added some natuaral coconut flakes, since there were not enough Kalories already….:)))
   but all worth it!Thank you!
