Cashew Nut Milk
1 cup raw cashews
4 cups filtered water
2 pitted dates (optional for added sweetness)
Pinch of salt
1 drop Cinnamon Bark oil
Place nuts in a jar or container and cover with water.
Cover container and refrigerate overnight.
Drain and rinse nuts. Place in a blender along with 1 cup filtered water, a
pinch of salt, and 1 drop of Cinnamon Bark oil. Blend on high speed for 2–3
minutes or until smooth.
Add the remaining 3 cups of water and blend. If you want a thinner nut milk,
add more water as desired. If you prefer a smoother, less gritty milk, you can
strain it in a nut milk bag, letting the liquid drain through slowly, without
squeezing, to strain out grit.
Taste and add more Cinnamon Bark oil to taste, a toothpick at a time, if
desired.
Pour into jars and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Shake well before consuming
as the mixture will naturally separate.
Tips
Soaking the cashews in water overnight makes for a creamier milk. If you
want to speed up this recipe, you can also boil the cashews for 10 minutes
instead and then follow the directions as written.
Make this recipe with a variety of essential oil flavors to provide different
internal benefits. Some oils to try include Cardamom, Ginger, and Cassia.
