Note
Notes on Cashew Milk:
Some blenders can’t completely break down the cashews. If yours falls into this category, strain the milk through a cheesecloth.
Store your cashew milk in the refrigerator for up to four days.
Changing up the water ratio will give you thicker or thinner results. This recipe should provide milk similar to 2% traditional milk.
For vegan cashew milk, choose maple syrup or agave nectar for sweetening instead of honey.
