How to Make Cashew Milk | Easy Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup raw cashews (soaked for 4 hours)
  • 4 cups water (filtered water)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional for flavor)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (for sweetness)
  • a pinch salt (to enhance flavor)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Soak Cashews

    Place raw cashews in a bowl and cover with water. Let them soak for at least 4 hours or overnight.

    Soaking softens the cashews, making them easier to blend.
  2. Drain and Rinse

    After soaking, drain the cashews and rinse them under cold water.

    This helps remove any bitterness.
  3. Blend Ingredients

    In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, filtered water, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and salt.

    Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
  4. Strain the Milk

    Using a nut milk bag or cheesecloth, strain the blended mixture into a bowl or pitcher.

    Squeeze well to extract as much liquid as possible.
  5. Store and Enjoy

    Transfer the cashew milk to a sealed container and refrigerate. Use within 4-5 days.

    Shake well before each use, as separation may occur.
