Ingredients
1cupraw unsalted cashewssoaked at least 4 hours, and drained
4cupswater
1-2tablespoonssugaror maple syrup, optional
1teaspoonvanilla extractoptional
pinch ofsaltoptional
Instructions
Place the cashews in a bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak for at least 4 hours or overnight. This softens the cashews and makes them easier to blend.
Drain the cashews and rinse under cold water. Add the cashews and water to a high-speed blender. If you want your cashew milk sweetened or flavored, add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt (to enhance the flavor). Blend on high speed for about 1-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Transfer the cashew milk to a sealed container and refrigerate. It will keep for 4-5 days. Shake well before using, as natural separation may occur.
Notes
Enjoy the full-bodied texture of our cashew milk, similar to whole dairy milk. For a lighter option, simply dilute with water.
