Description

A creamy, smooth, and naturally mild dairy-free cashew milk that comes together quickly without the need for straining.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 3 to 4 cups water
  • 12 tbsp sweetener (dates, honey, or maple syrup) (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Soak cashews in water for 2 to 4 hours, or in hot water for 15 minutes for a quick soak.
  2. Drain and rinse the cashews.
  3. Add cashews and fresh water to a blender.
  4. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  5. Add sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt if desired, then blend again.
  6. Pour into a jar or bottle and refrigerate until ready to use.

Notes

  • No straining is required due to the soft texture of cashews.
  • Adjust water quantity for desired thickness.
  • Add cocoa powder or cinnamon for flavor variations.
  • Use soaked dates for natural sweetness.
  • Shake well before use as separation may occur.
