Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw cashews, soaked in water 4-8 hours, drained and rinsed
  • 4 cups water, divided

Instructions

  • Place the cashews and ¼ cup of water into the bowl of a food processor or blender.
  • Blend the mixture to a smooth paste. This may take a few minutes. Stop the machine to scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally, and add a splash more water if you need it to get the mixture moving.
  • Add the remaining water and blend again until smooth.
  • Optional step: if your milk has a lot of cashew particles in it, you may strain it. Place a nut milk bag over a large container, such as a pitcher or bowl. Pour the milk into the bag and strain it, squeezing the bag with your hands to extract as much milk as possible.
  • Serve immediately or chill in a sealed container for up to 5 days.

Notes

Nutrition information assumes the milk has not been strained. The calorie and other nutrient levels will be a bit lower if you strain yours.
