Steps:
- Soak the cashews in water for 4 hours or overnight. Drain the cashews and rinse until the water runs clear.
- Combine all ingredients in a high-powered blender and puree until very smooth, starting at the lowest setting and moving up quickly to the highest.
- Feel free to drink and store the cashew milk in the refrigerator at this point. However, there may be sediment at the bottom of your milk container.
- For a completely smooth milk, strain the concoction through a nut milk bag. Place the nut milk bag over a bowl or jar and pour in the milk. Allow it to drain briefly. Then squeeze the nut milk bag from the top down to speed up the process.
- Store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator and consume within 3-5 days.

CASHEW MILK AND CASHEW FLOUR
Steps:
- To make the milk: In a high-speed blender, combine the cashews and water and blend until creamy. Line a large sieve with a double thickness of cheesecloth and place over a bowl. Pour the cashew mixture into the sieve and let drain, then grab the corners of the cheesecloth, hold together securely, and squeeze the cheesecloth to extract all of the milk. Reserve the pulp in the sieve for making the flour. Transfer the milk to a covered container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- To make the flour: Using an offset spatula, spread the pulp on a nonstick drying sheet on a dehydrator shelf. Dehydrate at 105°F for 24 hours, or until completely dry. Transfer the dehydrated pulp to a food processor and grind to a silky flour. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
