I tried this recipe for a party. Then ended up making a cake.

First problem: I couldn't find unblanched hazelnuts. I went to 3 different grocery stores in the area and none sold them whole. I had to get chopped ones that still had the skin on.

Second problem: I underestimated the necessity of a cheesecloth-lined seive. I only seived it normally, and it some of the skin got through.

Third problem: I tried to freeze it just in a bowl, instead of an ice cream maker. This procuded iced hazelnut milk.

Overall: I thought I could cut corners with this recipe, but unless you have all the special equipment, don't try it. It seemed so easy. :(
