INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 cup raw cashews or raw blanched almonds

INSTRUCTIONS

1 Soak the nuts for 2 hours in a bowl of potable warm water. Combine the nuts and 1/2 cup of warm water in the blender.

2 Slowly add remaining water until creamy. (If you like a thinner liquid, add more warm water.) Pass it through cheesecloth and you will have super white, delicious milk.

3 With that which remains in the cloth, make nut butter. It’s very useful in cakes or cookies instead of dairy butter, for breakfast as a spread on bread or toast instead of butter, cheese or even yogurt.

4 Options: You can add a little bit of honey and sea salt, if you like.
