1/2teaspoonguar gum
4cupsfiltered water
pinchsalt(optional)
1teaspoonvanilla extract(optional)
Instructions
Add all of the ingredients to a high speed blender.
Blend for one minute (or more depending on your blender)
Pour into a container and store in the refrigerator. You will have to shake it before use if it has separated.
Notes
No High-Speed Blender?
If you don't have a high-speed blender, make sure to soak your cashews the night before or boil them for about 5 minutes to soften them. You may also need to blend longer. 1 minute is fine for a Vitamix, but you may need longer until the milk is smooth and creamy.
Additions
If you plan on drinking the cashew milk, you can try adding vanilla or a sweetener to taste. I like maple syrup as a sweetener. Use 1 - 2 tablespoons for a lightly sweetened milk.
