This recipe comes from Elanaspantry.com,a gluten-free recipe blog. She gives the recipe for a cashew milk, but I opted to try the thicker, creamier version for my evening tea since I have a carton of almond milk in the fridge.

For the viscosity of regular whole milk add 2 more cups of water to the Vitamix; if you want to make milk with the consistency of 2% cow milk, add  an additional 3 cups of water.

Elana says, “Cashew milk is very foamy when first removed from the blender; it settles nicely after sitting in the fridge overnight. Often a layer of cream forms on top of the milk, though don’t be thrown, underneath is pure, delicious white stuff.”

I like the cash and half. It whitens my tea like half and half would and by the spoonful has a thick, mildly sweet taste. The recipe is relatively effortless and gives me just what I am looking for in my blackberry sage tea. Thanks, Elana!
