You can use raw, unsalted cashews or almonds for this recipe.
1/2 cup (or more if you like it creamier) raw soaked almonds or raw (unroasted) cashews
3 or 4 Tablespoons raw agave nectar (or raw sugar)
4 cups water
3/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or scrapings from a vanilla bean (optional)
Put the ingredients in a blender for a couple of minutes and pour it through a sieve if it is made with almonds- (you don't need to filter the cashew milk because the cashew are soft and turn into cream easily). Use a sieve with larger holes at first to catch the bigger pieces of nuts and then pour it through a finer one so it will be smooth.
Use this milk to replace any recipe that calls for milk, or chill it and drink as is. I love it so much. I make milk shakes by adding bananas, ice, cinnamon and clove powder to the blender.

You can also replace the Agave nectar with Dates. I put about 7 Dates. I make it on daily basis for my babies.
For how long this milk can be kept in a fridge? I suppose it would be too much if I consumed 2 litres in one day.
The milk can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 or 3 days. It will separate so just blend it up again for a few seconds and it's perfect!

Hi Lyn, I can't wait to try this recipe tomorow. I have some raw cashews in the fridge just begging to be used in this recipe! I've never made cashew milk before, so I really can't wait to see how it turns out.
Thanks for sharing the recipe!
This is yuuuummmmooooo! I'll never have to buy milk again :)
Wow, I've never used cashews for milk, always almonds, but tried today for the first time and am so impressed with the flavor, I like it better than almond even! Also, sometimes I add about 1/2 tsp of xantham gum to a quart of milk while blending and it really helps it to not separate while sitting and makes it a little thicker.
How long do you soak the almonds?
You can soak the almonds or cashews over night, rinse them in the morning and use them! (just put them in a bowl and cover them with water).
Rinsing them breaks down the enzyme inhibitors, so the nuts become more easily digestible :)
