Instructions
- Add cashews, water, sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt to a blender. Cover and blend on HIGH for five minutes or until smooth and creamy. Mixture will be warm so allow it to cool.

Notes
Tiffy’s Tips
- If you are using a high-powered blender, (like a Vitamix) this step isn’t necessary. If not, you will need to soften the cashews for a creamy texture. Soften cashews by adding them to a bowl and covering with water. Soak overnight or until tender. Drain and rinse before using.
- I always use 1 ½ cups of water but adjust for desired consistency.
- I use maple syrup for added sweetener but stevia, agave, and dates are excellent choices.
- Purity Coffee is my favorite health-focused coffee brand. Their delicious mold-free coffee makes coffee much healthier!
- I swear these coffee mugs make everything taste better! High quality mugs that look good and don’t overheat when warm. Microwave and dishwasher safe.
