Activated Macadamia nut milk recipe

Creamy & naturally sweet

There’s no shortage of alternative milks on the market these days but it can be hard to find the right one for the right purpose! If you love your milk coffees but need an alternative to dairy, macadamia milk may just be the one for you. It’s incredibly creamy, very slightly sweet and the macadamia flavour blends really well into coffees and smoothies and can even be used to make a decadent dairy-free yogurt.

Macadamias are naturally quite sweet on their own but if you like yours a little sweeter, adding a pitted medjool date will work a treat.
