Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 4 cups filtered water (for blending)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or natural sweetener (optional)
- 1 pinch pinch of salt (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak for 4-6 hours or overnight for the creamiest texture. If short on time, soak in hot water for 15-20 minutes.
Step 2
Rinse the soaked cashews thoroughly under cold water and drain.
Step 3
Add the soaked and drained cashews to a high-speed blender along with the filtered water, vanilla extract (if using), maple syrup (if using), and a pinch of salt (if using).
Step 4
Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes or until completely smooth and creamy. Depending on the power of your blender, you may not need to strain the milk.
Step 5
If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the cashew milk through a nut milk bag or fine mesh strainer into a large bowl or jug.
Step 6
Transfer the milk to a glass jar or bottle with a lid and store in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 4-5 days. Shake well before using as natural separation may occur.
Step 7
Enjoy your cashew milk in smoothies, coffee, tea, or as a delicious dairy-free alternative in recipes.
