Three Delicious Ways to Use Nut Milks

Check out these three fun, easy recipes that use nut milk. They’re all cold, refreshing and perfect for summer.

We love nut milks. Give us almond, cashew, walnut or event hazelnut and we can’t get enough. However, we’ve learned to get picky about our dairy-free milks and actually read the labels. That’s where Elmhurst comes in. Do you remember Elmhurst as being a milk company? Well they used to be! And now they make strictly nut milks, and quite delicious ones we might add.

The nuts milks are cold-milled and packed with 4 times more nuts than your usually store-bought beverage. Our favorite part is that they don’t contain any weird stabilizers or gums. They’re creamy, loaded with protein and contain nothing but water, nuts, cane sugar, salt and some other natural flavors. To celebrate our new nut milk find, we created three easy, cool dairy-free recipes for summer.

Hazelnut Milk Iced Coffee

This may sounds like a no-brainer to add hazelnut milk to your morning cold brew, but we took it a step further to get that latte froth that is still vegan. Here’s how: Combine your coffee and milk in your glass. In a blender or bullet, put about 1/4 cup more of hazelnut milk. Blend on high speed for thirty seconds to a minute. Spoon froth from blender onto top of your cold brew and enjoy!

Walnut Milk Punch

Milk punch is such a retro drink and served chilled with plenty of ice, it tastes like a boozy milkshake perfect for a sip by the pool. We used the earthy, darker in color walnut milk that is lighter on the palate and so refreshing.
