Notes
How can you thicken cashew milk?
To thicken cashew milk, use less water during blending. This will result in a richer, creamier texture. To make thick, creamy cashew cream, after soaking the cashews, blend with only 1 cup of water (instead of the 4 cups called for to make cashew milk). Storage Tips

- Fridge: For best results, store your homemade cashew nut milk in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days. (A glass jar or pitcher with a lid will help keep your cashew milk fresher longer.)
- Freezer: It can also be frozen in ice cube trays and then transferred to an airtight freezer-safe container for future use. This way, it can be stored in the freezer for about a month.
