Hazelnut drink has a mild, nutty taste that is often slightly sweet, even in unsweetened versions. Its distinctive flavour comes through in coffee, cereal and desserts, so it may not suit every savoury recipe.
It can froth, but the result varies by product and is often less stable than dairy-milk foam. A barista-style version usually steams more reliably; avoid overheating it, which can make the foam collapse.
Yes. Blend soaked hazelnuts with fresh water, then strain the mixture through a fine cloth or nut-milk bag. You can leave it unsweetened or add a little date or vanilla for flavour.
Yes, hazelnut drink works as a one-to-one liquid substitute for milk in many cakes, pancakes and muffins. Its nutty flavour may change the taste, so choose an unsweetened version for recipes that are not meant to be sweet.
Yes, you can heat hazelnut drink gently on the stove or in the microwave. Avoid bringing it to a boil; high heat can affect its texture, particularly when you add it to acidic coffee.
Keep opened hazelnut drink refrigerated with the carton or bottle tightly closed. Follow the storage and use-by instructions on its packaging, and discard it if its smell, appearance or texture changes noticeably.
Not necessarily. Some hazelnut drinks are unsweetened, while others contain added sugar or sweeteners, especially flavoured varieties. If you want to control sweetness in coffee or recipes, choose an unsweetened product.
Hazelnut drink generally has a richer, more pronounced nutty flavour, while almond drink is often milder. Both can be used in similar ways, but the difference in taste can change coffee, cereal and baking.
No, hazelnut drink is generally low in protein compared with dairy milk and some other plant-based drinks. Enjoy it for its flavour or as a dairy alternative, but choose another food if you need a substantial protein source.
No, hazelnut drink should not replace breast milk or infant formula for babies under one year. Older children may have it as a drink, but it is not nutritionally equivalent to cow’s milk, so do not rely on it as their main source of protein.

Hazelnut drink is a plant-based alternative to dairy, usually made by blending hazelnuts with water and straining the mixture. Packaged versions are widely available, and their ingredients can vary by brand; homemade versions are easy to prepare too.
Its gentle nutty flavour and usually light, pourable texture work well in coffee, cereal, porridge and smoothies, or in baking where a hint of hazelnut is welcome. It is generally enjoyed much like other milk alternatives, at breakfast or in hot drinks. The drink is mostly water and provides relatively little protein compared with dairy milk. Choose an unsweetened version for a less sweet everyday option, or use it in coffee and pair it with fruit or oats.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
