I've always dreamed of being that girl who makes her own homemade nut milk, but for some reason, the process intimidated me. Until I tried. Now it's a weekly ritual to soak my nuts & turn them into milk. My favorite is cashew milk, since unlike almonds, cashews don't have a small skin, so you don't need to strain it. I like mine unsweetened, but there is still the possibility of adding maple syrup, for example, if you prefer a slightly sweetened milk.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup raw cashews
4 cups filtered water
OPTIONAL ADD-IN for a sweeter milk
Maple syrup, vanilla extract, dates
STEPS
1. Soak 1 cup of raw cashews in filtered water in the fridge at least 4 hours.
2. After 4 hours, rinse the cashews under water and add them in a high-speed blender like a Vitamix. Add 4 cups of filtered water & blend (around a minute). Pour your cashew milk in your glass of choice & store in the fridge. It should last about 5-7 days.
