Cashew Milk
This is a mild, creamy, and delicious nut milk that is the perfect canvas for drinks, baking, and cooking due to its more neutral flavor profile. If you have a high power blender, the milk does not even need to be strained, unlike homemade almond milk. This milk froths beautifully and is wonderfully for homemade frothed drinks like lattes.
Servings: 6
Calories: 121kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup cashews raw (roasted tend to be tougher and don’t blend as well)
- 5 cups filtered water
- generous pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- sweetener to taste, optional (I like to use liquid monk fruit or stevia glycerite)
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a high powered blender (Vitamix works best). Start blending on low and then turn the speed all the way up. Blend for 2-4 minutes, or until completely smooth. Refrigerate for up to one week.
Notes
If you are using a Vitamix, no need to pre-soak the cashews. You will also not need to filter the resulting milk. If your blender is not very high power, soak the cashews for at least 4 hours and up to overnight before blending. If there is significant sediment, filter the milk through cheesecloth, if desired.
You can also prepare this as a creamer by reducing the water volume.
