Quick and easy, Cashew Milk is a rich and creamy non-dairy milk to enjoy with porridge, chia pudding, and lattes'. Play with the level of sweetness to taste. *See blog post for more tips, how to use your cashew milk and recipe notes!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (160 grams) Raw Cashews
  • 2 Medjool Dates (pitted*, or 3 tsp of maple, honey or agave. )
  • 3 1/2 cups (800 grams) Water**
  • 1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Soak the cashews in very hot water for 15 minutes OR cashews can be soaked in room temperature water for two hours or overnight as well - whatever works for your schedule. Drain cashews and rinse. Add cashews to the blender (I use a Vitamix) along with dates, water, salt, extract and cinnamon. Blend starting on low speed and increasing to high until smooth and frothy, about 40 seconds.

  2. 2

    If you find your cashew milk still has some chunks, strain the solids out using a nut milk bag, layered cheese cloth or other fine strainer. I have not experienced this when using a Vitamix. Store in a lidded container for up to three days. Shake well before using.
