Cashew Milk

No ratings yet
I no longer purchase any plant-based milk from the grocery store, I always make them at home now. Why? It’s cheap, it’s easy, and I can control the creaminess and sweetness to my preference. For cashew milk, all you need is a high-speed blender, and unlike other plant-based milk (almond, oat), you don’t need to strain it because there’s no pulp. Less mess? Yes, please!
