Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results. Once soaked, drain and rinse the cashews thoroughly.
In a high-powered blender or food processor, add the soaked cashews, filtered water, fresh lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, garlic clove, ground cumin, and sea salt.
Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender or processor a few times to ensure everything is evenly blended. If the hummus is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning, adding more lemon juice or salt if needed.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. If desired, garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of paprika, and chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve immediately with fresh vegetables, crackers, or as a spread on sandwiches. Store any leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
