With just 10 minutes of prep time and minimal ingredients, this vegan-friendly drink is as easy to make as it is delicious. Customize the sweetness with a touch of maple syrup and enjoy it strained for smoothness or unstrained for added texture. Perfect for dairy-free lifestyles, this versatile cashew milk recipe is sure to become a new staple in your kitchen!
Place the raw cashews in a medium-sized bowl and cover them with 4 cups of water. Allow them to soak for at least 4 hours or, preferably, overnight to soften them and improve the creaminess of the milk.
After soaking, drain and rinse the cashews under cold running water to remove any residue or impurities.
In a high-powered blender, combine the soaked cashews, 3 cups of filtered water, Medjool dates, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
Taste the cashew milk. If you prefer it sweeter, add the optional maple syrup and blend again briefly to incorporate.
For an ultra-smooth texture, strain the cashew milk using a nut milk bag or a fine mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth. Gently squeeze or press to extract as much liquid as possible. (Note: Straining is optional if you prefer a thicker milk with more texture.)
Transfer the cashew milk to an airtight container or bottle. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Shake well before each use, as natural separation may occur.
Serve chilled on its own, over cereal, in smoothies, or as a creamy addition to your coffee or tea.
