I have always been passionate about food and community. I studied culinary management to broaden my skills and knowledge in all things cuisine and hospitality and I relish an opportunity to create in the kitchen. I love to develop recipes with wholefoods that are approachable, authentic and packed with flavour. Bringing people together around the table is important to me and I believe food is the greatest and most accessible tool for generosity and hospitality.
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-freeyogurt.
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.

Yield - 1 litre
Ingredients
1 Ltr cold water 2 cups raw macadamia nuts 1 pitted medjool date (optional)

1. Activate the nuts by immersing them overnight in water and a teaspoon of salt, covered. 2. Drain and rinse the nuts and add them to the Vibe blender jug along with the date. 3. Add half of the water and blend on nut mode for 60 seconds until it forms a smooth paste.
4. Add the remaining water and blend for another 60 seconds. 5. Strain it through a nut bag or muslin cloth, leaving only the pulp behind (you can reserve this for baking or for adding to smoothies) 6. Use it straight away or store it in the fridge for 3-5 days.
