This is perfect if you’re looking for a dairy-free milk for smoothies, for your tea or coffee or to have on its own. Some people don’t like the taste of almonds so cashew milk-which is more neutral in flavour- is a great alternative.  I like to make this one for a treat, if I’m having someone over for chai tea or smoothies. Cashew nuts are also really good for you. They’re full of: vitamin K, copper, manganese, magnesium and phosphorus.  Similar to almond milk, there are a few secrets to success with cashew milk:

1. Use raw cashews.

2. Soak them overnight-this makes a smoother milk.

3. The more powerful your blender, the better.

4. You will need a nut bag to make a smooth milk-I ordered mine from Love Tree Products in the UK.

5. This milk only keeps for two days in the fridge so only make a big batch if you will use it.

6. Place the leftover cashew meal in a very cool oven for 2-3 hours to dehydrate it. It can then be used in baking.
