Cashew Mylk

Cashew Mylk has become a staple in our house. I make a fresh batch every week and it takes less than 5 minutes to make. AND you there is no straining involved! It tastes so pure and fresh! There are so few ingredients in it which I love, I feel so much better about drinking homemade nut milks versus those bought at the store which have sugar, flavors, gums and preservatives all which aren't doing our gut any favors.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 c. raw cashews - make sure they are raw and not salted or roasted, this is very important!

• 5 c. filtered water

Optional

**there are totally optional, you can add all or none - if you want to get creative and spice it up these are great to add. I usually just use the 2 ingredients above:

• Pinch of sea salt

• 1 tsp or splash or vanilla extract

• 1 Date

• Dash of ceylon cinnamon

Preparation:

• Add cashews to high powered blender with water

• Add all optional ingredients if desired

• Using a high powered blender (I use a VitaMix), blend until smooth - about 1 minute

• Pour in to glass jar and store in fridge for 5-7 days.

• Note: if you don't have a high powered blender and are worried about cashews blending, soak cashews in a jar of very hot water for 30 minutes - fill jar with enough water to cover the cashews . Strain and rinse cashews then proceed with the above steps
