Prep time: 5 h
Cook time: 5 min
Total time: 5 h 5 min
Ingredients: 1 cup raw cashews; water; 2 dates; 2 1/2 tsp matcha powder; 1 pinch ground vanilla beans; 1 pinch salt

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup raw cashews
water
2 dates
2 1/2 tsp matcha powder
1 pinch ground vanilla beans
1 pinch salt

Instructions

Soak the cashews in 3 cups of water overnight (or at least 5 hours).
When the cashews are fully soaked, drain the soaking water. Add the cashews and 4 cups of clean water to a powerful blender, along with the dates (make sure they don't have pits!).*
Blend on high for 2 minutes, then add the matcha, vanilla, and salt. Blend until totally smooth.
Taste, and add more dates, matcha, vanilla, or salt depending on your taste!

Notes

I opt not to strain my cashew milk: I like the mouthfeel without straining. If you prefer to strain, I recommend blending ONLY cashews and water to begin with, straining it through a nut milk bag, and then returning it to the blender to add the dates, matcha, vanilla, and salt.
