Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup raw cashews see notes
1 1/2 - 2 cups filtered water see notes
1/8 teaspoon pink salt or sea salt
1 - 6 tablespoons pure maple syrup see notes
3 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Drain and rinse soaked raw cashews well with cold water.
Add them to a high-speed blender pitcher along with filtered water, salt, maple syrup, and vanilla.
Blend on highest speed setting for about 4 minutes. If this seems like a long time, that's because it is. Keep going!
If you do not have a high-speed blender, this won't be as smooth, but it will still be delicious! You can also strain the milk through a cheesecloth.
When the cashew creamer is all done, it should be warm to the touch from all of the friction while blending.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

Soak the raw cashews in cold water overnight. If you are pressed for time, you can alternatively soak for 1 1/2 hours in boiling water.
Depending on how well your blender works, you may need more or less water. Start with 1 1/2 cups and observe final texture. You can always add that other 1/2 cup later.
Use anywhere between 1-6 tablespoons of pure maple syrup depending on your sweetness preferences.
