First came skim milk, then soy, and now there’s a whole raft of options such as lactose-free milk, almond milk, rice milk, coconut milk and now… macadamia milk. And it’s delicious!
Macadamia milk is popping up in cafes around the country in response to many people’s growing awareness around gut health, nutrition and the desire for dairy free alternatives.
Made by blending raw nuts and water, macadamia milk has a creamy, delicate flavour that really complements the earthy bitterness of coffee.
You can make your own version at home – see the recipe here – or find one of the quality macadamia milks now being produced commercially from Aussie macadamia nuts and supplied to supermarkets, restaurants and cafes across Australia.
Macadamia milk is still the new kid on the block, however it is sure become more mainstream and widely available as awareness of its benefits and great taste grows.
So where can you find it in your area? Read on for a state-by-state guide.
