Cashew Milk Lattes
Have you tried homemade cashew milk? If not, you must! It's so simple to make and turns into the most creamy treat! Try in it a latte like this.
CASHEW MILK
- 1 cup raw cashews soaked in water for at least 1 hour (not necessary to soak but recommended)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon real maple syrup
- 3 cups water
LATTE
- 1 1/2 cups cashew milk
- 1 cup brewed coffee (preferably strong coffee)
- 2-3 large Medjool dates, pitted and roughly chopped (skip this if you don’t want any sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of ground cinnamon
Serves 2
What to do
- Drain the cashews from the soaking water and rinse under cold water. Place in a high speed blender with the rest of the ingredients for the milk and blend on the highest setting of your blender for 1-2 minutes or until the milk is smooth and frothy.
- In a small saucepan heat the 1 1/2 cups cashew milk with the dates and bring to a high simmer. Remove from heat and pour into the blender with the vanilla extract. Blend on high until the dates are pureed into the milk.
- Divide the coffee between two mugs and top each mug with the frothy milk. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon and enjoy.
