2-Ingredient Cashew Milk Recipe (Easy Homemade Dairy-Free Milk)

Why I Love This Cashew Milk

When I tried my 2-ingredient cashew milk for the first time, I knew I would never go back to store-bought. I've wanted to try making my milk for years, and I always thought it was too hard. With only 2 ingredients and about 3 minutes of effort, this is one of my easiest recipes.

I instantly knew this would be a new favorite for me. My main goal was to make milk that would froth well. Sadly, I didn't find that this milk frothed as great as I expected. Using only 2 cups of water to 1 cup of nuts did produce more froth than when I made it with 6 cups of water. However, I found 6 cups to be too watery for me. The search continues for a plant-based milk that froths!

How To Make Cashew Milk

Making cashew milk has to be one of the easiest swaps to make.

1. Soak Cashews in water for 24 hours and drain (this softens them up)

2. Blend the cashews with fresh water; start with less; you can always add more to your preference of consistency

3. Strain (if desired) & store in the fridge until you are ready to enjoy!

How Does This 2 Ingredient Cashew Milk Compare To Store Bought?

At first glance, it appears that these cashew milks are very similar. But, if you look at the individual rows, you will see differences. Depending on your diet and what you are looking for in your milk, will determine which one is best for you.

For me, I'm concerned about the ingredients in the milk and keeping them to a minimum. Even though I love the convenience and shelf life of store-bought milk, creating a few batches of cashew milk a week isn't a big deal for me.
