Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Serving Size 5 cups

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw cashews - pieces or whole cashews will work
  • 4 cups fresh filtered water

Instructions

  • Add water and cashews to a high speed blender.
  • Blend on high for approximately 60 seconds.
  • Pour into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 or 5 days.

Notes

 
  • This recipe works with a high speed blender. If you don't have a high speed blender, bring two cups of water to a boil and pour boiling water over cashews and let soak in a heat safe bowl for 30 minutes prior to adding to the blender.
  • If you want sweetened/flavored cashew milk, add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and your choice of sweetener (2-4 dates or 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup or honey work great)
