Dairy Free Milk!

This delicious and healthy milk alternative is super easy to make.

Ingredients: 

-1 cup of cashews or almonds 

-4 cups of water 

Step 1: Soak your cashews or almonds in water for a couple of hours.

Step 2: Drain your nuts.

Step 3: Combine your soaked nuts and 4 cups of water in a blender (I use a Vitamix) and blend until it is smooth and creamy. 

Step 4: Pour the blend into a mesh nut milk bag over a bowl and squeeze so all of the milk is in the bowl and the nut pulp stays in the bag. 

Step 5: Pour your delicious milk into a pitcher and enjoy! (You can dispose of the pulp or use it for something else!)
