CASHEW CREAMER

3 cups water
1 cup cashew peices
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 dropper hazelnut stevia

Add all ingredients to blender jar. Blend on high for 2 minutes.

I use a high speed blender, so I don’t need to strain it. If you use an inexpensive blender you may want to strain it before use. It will be really frothy at first (perfect for a latte!), but will settle over time. This creamer will separate in the refrigerator because it has no emulsifiers or hydrogenation to keep it together…that’s a good thing! Shake before pouring and you’re all set!

I make a batch every 5 days or so. It only takes a couple minutes once you’ve made it a couple times! You may want to make a half batch if you don’t drink a lot of coffee or only have one person drinking coffee in your house.  I buy a lot of these ingredients in bulk from Azure Standard or Costco to save money!  <3

Options:
If you prefer dairy you could substitute the cashews and water with half and half. Instead of coconut sugar you could use sucanat, pure cane sugar, or more maple syrup. You could try almond extract instead of vanilla or try english toffee or vanilla creme stevia. The possibilities are endless! You could even add a spoonful of canned plain pumpkin and your favorite spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or allspice to make a pumpkin spice latte! I’d love to see what you come up with!

CASHEW MILK RECIPE

We’re making cashew milk! This is an easy and quick recipe. All you need are cashews, water, and a good blender and BAM! There’s your cashew milk! Now, if you don’t have a high speed blender you may need to let your cashews sit in the water for a few hours (1-6 hours) on the counter to soften before blending. Some people say it’s actually easier for your body to absorb the nutrients from the nuts if you do this!

Recipe:
1/4 – 1/2 Cups Cashews (I used 1/2)
3 cups water
Blend on high for 2 minutes.

More cashews will produce a creamier milk, but less is fine and will wind up cheaper. It’s really up to you! Shake before each use- no emulsifiers here! 🙂

Some fun add-ins would be a pinch of salt, a dash of vanilla extract, a shake of cinnamon, and/or a splash of maple syrup! YUM! I usually keep mine plain and easy, but it’s fun to add things in sometimes! I hope my videos inspire you to try new things and not be afraid to experiment!

Making your own cashew milk from scratch is really so simple. Let me know if you try it! Post a pic on instagram and tag me: @abeautifulhorizon!
