Easy Homemade Cashew Milk
With all of our family allergies coming to surface and really trying to get our diets in gear, I have been turning to make many things at home. As you know if you have been following me for quite some time, Rob and I love being in the kitchen. Because of that, it isn't as hard of a task as you may think.One thing I seem to be addicted to since the switch has been homemade nut milk. Though almond milk is tedious and time-consuming, Cashew milk is super fast and easy. And, best of all, it tastes so creamy and perfect in our morning coffee. But, you can also use it in many recipes that call for cream or a higher percentage milk, like pasta sauces and baked goods.I will recommend if you are wanting to make your own nut milk on the regular, you should definitely invest in a powerful blender. We love our Vitamix, but Blendtec is also great. But, if you are without a powerful blender, you can always use cheesecloth after the blending process to get the larger chunks of nut out.
