Ingredients
Cashew Milk Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 4 cups filtered water
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 Medjool dates (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
- Pinch of ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Soak Cashews: In a medium bowl, add the raw cashews and cover them with about 2 cups of water. Allow to soak for at least 30 minutes to soften the nuts, making them easier to blend and resulting in a creamier milk.
- Drain and Rinse: After soaking, drain the cashews and rinse them well under running water to remove any residue and reduce bitterness.
- Prepare for Blending: In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, 4 cups of filtered water, and a pinch of sea salt. Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, soaked Medjool dates, and a pinch of ground cinnamon to enhance the flavor and sweetness of the milk.
- Blend: Blend all ingredients on high speed for about 1 minute until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This ensures a well-incorporated, silky texture without any nut chunks.
- Optional Strain: For an even smoother milk, you may choose to strain the blended cashew milk through a nut milk bag or fine mesh sieve, though this step is optional as cashew milk blends very smoothly.
Notes
- Soaking time can be extended to 4 hours or overnight for an even creamier texture.
- Use filtered or purified water for the best taste.
- Store cashew milk in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Shake well before each use as natural separation may occur.
- Adjust sweetness and flavorings to your preference.
