 @adfbf87b @096e66c5 wow this looks and sounds delicious! I'm very excited to try processing quercus robur acorns for the first time this year. 
 @6398bf2a @096e66c5 I haven’t tried this one. If there are a lot of tannins, this thread shows how to cold-process acorns. Cold-processing has better flavor than heat processing (boiling in multiple changes of water). Heat processing makes the acorns taste on the bitter side.

If it doesn’t need processing, it helps to steam the acorns in their shell with low heat (60-65C) in the oven to help remove the nut from the shell.
