Nut Milk

Yields1 Serving

Nut milks are a healthy and delicious alternative to dairy and because they are so easy to make, you’ll want to have a jar or two in the fridge at all times.

 1 cup raw cashews, soaked in water for 30 minutes to several hours, then drained
 3 cups water
 1 tsp teaspoon vanilla
 3 pitted dates, or a tablespoon or two of real maple syrupAdd up to 5 dates for a sweeter result
 Pinch of salt
 ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
1

Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend for about 2 minutes, starting at a low speed and gradually working up to the highest speed. If you’re aiming for a thinner consistency in the milk, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to remove nut pulp. Pour directly into mason jars or air-tight container and refrigerate. Keeps for 3 to 4 days. Shake well before each use.
