This 2 Ingredients Cashew Milk is my favorite dairy-free nut milk. Not only it is so creamy and sweet, but super easy to make at home with no straining required. You can add to your morning coffee, smoothie, or enjoy it with your favorite chocolate chip cookies.

Purpose of Soaking Cashews Overnight

I always soak cashews overnight before I blend it to make homemade cashew milk. The soaking process gives you a creamier milk in result.

However, if you are short on time and want to make a last-minute nut milk, blending unsoaked raw cashews will do the trick as well. Another super easy trick is to use 1-2 tbsp of cashew butter, and blend it with 2 cups of filtered water.

Why Make Your Own Cashew Milk?

1. Cheaper

2. Cleaner ingredients: Literally only TWO ingredients (if water counts as one), no preservatives

3. Creamier: Since we are making cashew milk fresh at home, they are frothier than the store-bought ones that have been sitting on the shelves for days

4. Variety of flavors: You can add any spices, sweeteners to suit your preference.

Spice up Homemade Cashew Milk

Raw cashews have a natural tint of sweetness to it already but there are so many ways you can spice it up!

Here are a few of my favorite flavors:

1. Cinnamon

2. Vanilla Bean

3. Cacao powder + Sea Salt

4. Turmeric Powder

5. Honey

The sky is unlimited when it comes to cashew milk flavors. If you have one that you’ve tried and love it, don’t forget to share with me in the comments down below.

To Make Cashew Milk EXTRA CREAMY

First of all, soaking the nuts that I talked about. The other secret to make homemade cashew milk extra frothy is to blend it on high in a high-speed blender for a good 2 minutes.

How to Store DF Cashew Milk

Now pour the frothy and creamy homemade cashew milk in an air-tight milk jar. Take a sip (optional), yum! And store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Since it doesn’t contain any preservatives, our homemade dairy free milk will not last as long as the store bought ones.

How to use this Homemade Cashew milk?
