Raw Vegan Cashew Nut Milk

• 1 cup raw cashews soaked for about 4 hours 
• 3 or 4 cups of filtered water, depending on how rich and thick you want the milk

1. Place your cashews, and 3 cups of water in your Vitamix and blend on high for about a minute until smooth and creamy.
2. See the tips below. If you want to thin the milk out, gradually add in some more filtered water, until you achieve the desired consistency.
3. This does not need to be strained. The milk comes out very smooth. For SUPER smooth milk, strain with a nut milk bag.

To sweeten and flavour – here are some suggestions:

• 3-4 Tbsp maple syrup, yacon syrup, raw agave, raw honey, coconut sugar, 3-4 pitted dates OR a few drops of Stevia
• 1-2 tsp of natural vanilla extract
• a pinch of Celtic sea salt or Himalayan salt
• You could add in a 1 Tbsp of coconut butter and 1 Tbsp of NON GM soy or sunflower lecithin if you want a richer, creamier milk. But I never feel like it needs it
• You can also flavour the milk with raw cacao, frozen berries, coconut, cinnamon etc and sweeten to taste
