Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (140 g/5 oz) raw cashew nuts
  • ½ cup water (more as needed)
  • ¼ tsp of salt

Equipment

  • Bowl
  • high-speed blender

Method
 

  1. Place 1 cup (140 g/5 oz) raw cashew nuts in a bowl and cover them with enough filtered water to submerge them. Transfer the bowl to the fridge. Soak them for at least 6 hours or overnight.
    Alternatively, pour boiling water over the cashews and soak them for 1-2hours.
  2. Once the cashew nuts are soft, drain and rinse them. Add them to a blender with ½ cup water and ¼ tsp of salt. Blend them for 1-2 minutes or until you have obtained a smooth cream. If desired, add more water for a thinner consistency.
  3. If desired, add flavors to make a sweet, savory, sour cashew cream, as stated in the blog. Then blend again.
