Yield
3 cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup cashews
- 3 cups water
- 2 tablespoons agave nectar (or honey)
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
Recipe Directions
- 1. Blend the cashews and water in a high-speed blender. I use my VitaMix blender, which is the best blender in the world! Blend very well so that the liquid resembles a thin milk.
- 2. Add the remaining raw cashew milk recipe ingredients and blend again.

The Rawtarian's Thoughts

Raw cashew milk recipes do not come close to this sweet, almondy cinnamony raw cashew milk recipe.
Raw cashew milk can be used for many many purposes in your raw food lifestyle.
I tend to drink this cashew milk as a delicious sweet treat, perhaps as a dessert, or I serve it over home-made dry cereal or I even splash a 1/4 cup on top of a bowl of my raw oatmeal.
If you have all these ingredients on hand this recipe really only takes a minute to prepare. Cashew milk can be stored in the fridge for a couple of days, but I would reblend before serving it in case any ingredients settle. But a batch of raw cashew milk doesn't last long in my house anyway!
PS: If you have any left over raw cashew milk from this recipe, try making raw chia seed pudding with your raw cashew milk recipe.

Do you need to strain the cashew milk?
Janice
Aug 23, 2012
I didn't. As long as you have a high quality blender, (Vitamix or Blendtec) you should not need to do so.

Agreed :)

Hi folks, if you are having problems with your cashew milk staying fresh, using sterilized glass containers with air-tight lids should help.

Hi Aimee, my cashew milk went off in 1 night...:( It was in an airtight container...I did soak them overnight and then only used then later that day....do you think that was the cause?? Thank you!

Yes, I find if you soak for too long things go haywire

hi, I have cashew nut milk in the fridge that I forgot about and now has gone thick and a little sour can I make it into a no- bake cheese cake with agar agar..it must have been there about 7days, or should I just chuck it?

Hmmmmm. I would chuck! But perhaps someone else can chime in on this one if they feel otherwise?

DW made Cashew milk Thursday last, yesterday (Saturday, approx. 60 hrs), it had gone thick & stringy, like it had polymerized (consistency of a stretchy dough, but still 'pourable'). Still tasted good, but probably not keeping it 'til we hear from more people. 3cups wate to one cup nuts, she maintains nuts were fresh...anybody?

Weird! My cashew milk doesn't do that.
Probably best to toss it out (sorry for delayed response!)

Laura-Jane, do you drink soy milk ? I am very worried about the high fat content in using so much nut products, do you have any other suggestions or helpful hints??
The Rawtarian

No, I do not drink soy milk. In fact, I don't drink much "milk" at all. My daily diet doesn't really call for it, nor do I miss having a milk-like drink. When I do want some, I drink cashew milk, but that's very rarely--perhaps once every 2 months.
I agree that it's good to be concerned about too many nuts. However, some nuts in your diet is a good thing! It's all about picking and choosing how you want to incorporate them.
I generally don't have any nuts in breakfast or lunch at all, but I do tend to have some nuts during dinner and for dessert.
What do you need "milk" for?

Hi! Since you don't drink milk, which foods do you eat to make sure you're getting calcium?
The cashew milk looks delicious thank for the recipe!
Thank you!

HI there,
I have a 15month old daughter who I think is allergic to cows milk! She comes out in a rash on her face. I certainly dont drink cows milk, so am wondering why I give it to my daughter.
What do you know about giving nut milks to young children? I have heard that nuts are hard to break down in little bodies, but im guessing soaking the nuts would help this process?
Any info would be great! :)

Hi Mel! I don't know very much about it.
However, you should definitely check out a woman, "Shazzie." She has a ton of info about raising her daughter, Eva, raw.
