Cashew Milk

I decided to try making some cashew milk. I went to the health food store and found a bag of raw cashews. I crushed them into pieces using a rolling pin and then let it soak in water. I was planning 8 hours, but that would have meant I would have had to get up in the middle of the night to make the milk, so I just let it soak over night- they probably soaked 12 hours. I also had about 2 cups of cashews, so I made 2 batches. Here is the recipe I used to make my milk- for about 1 cup cashews.

Pour out the water and dump cashews into a blender. Add 4-5 cups water (I put 4 1/2 cups). I blended it for about 2 minutes, let it rest a minute, and blended again for about 2 minutes. I added about 1 Tbs honey to sweeten it a little and 6-8 drops vanilla creme Stevia. Pour through a cheesecloth-type fabric to separate the milk from the cashews. Simple and easy! This tasted really good. I don't like really sweet, so you may need to add more or less stevia for your liking! ENJOY!
