Thank you for posting this recipe. I use the 2:1 ratio recommendation for creamer and it will last me four days. It’s helpful and cost effective as the options are limited in my area.

Hello, not trying to disparage anyone, just sometime that as a dietitian, I learned that it seems not a lot people know.

With many other nuts, I would absolutely agree with that! However, cashews have to be cooked in order to be able to be gotten out of the husk that they grow in, which is actually laced with toxic oils. In order to get rid of the oils and be able to remove the husk, they have to be cooked. Cashews sold as raw, are not actually raw, they’re cooked. They’re just not salted and roasted.

However, with a large portion of other nuts, and almost all legumes, that’s pretty much the biggest reason you soak them. A long soaking time, or at least 40 minutes at a boil, gets rid of between 70 and 90% of the anti-nutrients, depending on which particular nut or Bean you’re talking about.

I made the cashew milk for the first time as I couldn’t find any in the local stores, and it turned out great. I used our Vitamix blender so no need to strain anything.
I used the 4 cups of water and the consistency was nice. I also used a dash of cinnamon, not overpowering but nice as a background flavour.

Thank you!

In reply to Val. Has anyone successfully made this without having to strain in a Ninja Bullet?

I love this recipe. I made it with 1 cup water and then added more until it was the consistency that I want- I use it in my coffee and to make my smoothies. I am one to experiment with all recipes and wondered if you have ever tried roasting the cashews before soaking. I am thinking that it might might the flavor even richer.
