    Homemade Cashew Milk

    Drinks

    Cashew milk can be a great addition to many of your regular recipes.  Throw it in with some homemade granola for a bowl of cereal or toss it in as the liquid base to a nutritious smoothie when you are on the go.

    IMG_0345All you need to make the milk is a cup of unsalted cashews and seven cups of water.  Soak your cashews in about four cups of water for at least 3-4 hours.  After a few hours, dispose of the water the cashews were soaking in.  Toss the cashews into a blender and blend them up with another three cups of water.  Position a bowl under a cheesecloth or mesh strainer to catch the milk and pour the milk into the strainer.  If you’re looking to sweeten up your milk, throw in a bit of vanilla extract for extra flavor that will go perfectly with that bowl of crunchy granola.

    IMG_0346You can make this ahead of time and store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.  Enjoy throughout the week in many different recipes.  How do you like the sound of making your own cashew milk? Let us know what you think in the comments below!

      I love love love making cashew milk! I add in a pitted medjool date or two (depending on batch size) and vanilla in mine to naturally sweeten it up a bit. Adding it to coffee in the morning is delish!

        Yes! Me too! I find it creamier than other plant-based milks, and it’s so easy to do
