Welcome to the world of homemade cashew milk! Say goodbye to store-bought versions and hello to a healthier, tastier alternative.
First, soak 1 cup of raw cashews in water for at least 4 hours. This will soften them and make them easier to blend.
Drain the cashews and add them to a blender with 4 cups of water. Blend until smooth and creamy.
For added flavor, you can add a pinch of salt, a teaspoon of vanilla extract, or a sweetener of your choice.
Next, strain the mixture through a nut milk bag or cheesecloth to remove any remaining bits of cashews.
Squeeze out as much liquid as possible, then transfer the milk to a jar or bottle for storage.
Your homemade cashew milk can last up to 5 days in the fridge, but be sure to give it a good shake before using.
Not only is homemade cashew milk delicious, but it's also a great source of healthy fats, protein, and essential vitamins and minerals.
Use it in your morning coffee, smoothies, or as a dairy-free alternative in recipes. The possibilities are endless!
Enjoy the creamy, nutty goodness of homemade cashew milk and impress your friends and family with your new DIY skills. Cheers to a healthier you!
