Cashew milk is a fantastic, creamy alternative to traditional dairy milk. Whether you're lactose intolerant, vegan, or just looking to try something new, cashew milk is a versatile and tasty option. Unlike other nut milks, cashew milk has a natural sweetness and rich texture that makes it perfect for a variety of uses, from morning coffee to baking.

Instructions:

Notes
HOW LONG DOES IT LAST? Homemade cashew milk typically lasts about 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Since it doesn't contain preservatives like store-bought versions, it's best to make smaller batches that you can use up within a few days. Give it a shake before using, as natural separation may occur. If you notice any sour smell or taste, it's time to make a fresh batch.
